Siena vs Lazio preview

Lazio vs SienaThe final match of Gameweek 25 in Italian Serie A will see bottom-placed Siena tackle top 3 hopefuls Lazio in what should be a very important clash for both sides.

Siena didn’t need a lot of time to ruin the bright start to the league campaign as they quickly slipped to the bottom of the league standings.

The six-point penalty also played a part, and just few weeks back it looked as though they won’t be able to survive this season.

Robur, nonetheless, showed a massive improvement of late, beating Sampdoria and Inter at home, while bringing one point from Bologna, thus very much returning to the survival fight.

With Beppe Iachini’s side now eager to extend the promising run of results, bear in mind home win pays 3.10 (21/10) at bet365.

The hosts will have important defender Massimo Paci back from suspension, but midfielder Angelo is out with a hamstring problem.

January signing Nicola Pozzi has yet to be handed a debut, as he continues to miss out due to a calf injury.

Probable starting line-up (3-4-2-1): Pegolo – Pacci, Terlizzi, Felipe – Belmonte, Vergassola, Della Rocca, Rubin – Rosina, Sestu – Emeghara.

In spite of the very thin squad, Lazio have done really well on all fronts this season, and they have already secured their place in the Coppa Italia final.

The 3-3 draw in Moenchengladbach keeps them in good stead to make it to Europa League Last 16 stage, so now it’s time to focus on the league campaign.

The latest four-match winless run in the league saw the Biancocelesti drop out from the title race, but they need to return to winning ways if they are to remain in the driving seat for the final Champions League berth.

With that in mind, Lazio are 2.50 (3/2) with Coral to win at Artemio Franchi and 3.25 (9/4) at bet365 to achieve a top 3 finish.

Stefano Mauri remains doubtful with an ankle problem, while Cristian Ledesma misses out through suspension.

With Miroslav Klose still out injured, Sergio Floccari and Libor Kozak are set to form the attacking partnership.

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Marchetti – Konko, Biava, Dias, Radu – Candreva, Gonzalez, Hernanes, Lulic – Kozak, Floccari.
