LAZIO v PARMA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This looks like the most even match of the schedule and home advantage could be the key to determining the outcome of this fixture. After losing two of three matches Lazio are now on an unbeaten run of three games, two of which have been won. Parma have lost just one of their last six matches so this meeting brings together two of the form sides in Italy. Lazio are two places and six points ahead of their opponents at the weekend. Only Juventus and Napoli have won more points in home matches during the current campaign. Matches involving these sides have produced 74 goals at an average of more than 2.5 goals per game. This average is exactly three when only respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

It is 12 years since Lazio won the Serie A title and the current side do not appear to be good enough to break that streak. Despite the goals of Miroslav Klose they lack a creative side and this deficiency has been illustrated in the two goalless draws against Spurs in the Europa League. Lazio were comprehensively beaten by Catania in their recent away match, a 4-0 result which contradicted the relative form of both sides. Lazio had 61% of the possession which is a massive share for any away team but even more surprising in a match that was easily lost. Parma had 58% of the possession in their recent home match, a 2-1 win against Sampdoria. Their opponents had just one shot on target which suggests Parma were effective in not allowing conceded possession to bring about goal scoring opportunities for their opponents.

LAZIO - PARMA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Lazio have lost just one home match this season and their tally of five wins has only been bettered by league leaders, Juventus. They are scoring at an average rate of more than two goals a game at their own ground. Parma have won once in seven matches on the road and only three teams have lost more matches away from home. The respective form of both sides points to a home win which could help Lazio reach the Champions league qualifying places, depending on other results.

Back Lazio at 1.75 with Betsson.

LAZIO - PARMA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Parma have scored four goals in seven away matches this season to date so they are not prolific on the road. They are conceding at an average rate of two goals per game away from home and Lazio are good enough to maintain that rate. Lazio scored three goals without reply in their last home match against Udinese and that side have won more points than Parma away from home this season. The relevant statistics point to a game that Lazio can win by more than one goal. This means they should be backed to overcome a handicap of one goal.

LAZIO - PARMA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The relevant scoring statistics point to a game that will produce just about the average number of goals for the Italian league. However, Lazio’s tally of goals at home suggests the final tally can exceed two goals. Parma’s record of conceding away from home this season also suggests a relatively high scoring game. The away side can score a goal so backing both teams to score is an appealing bet. Defence is not the strongest area for either side and that also indicates a match that can see a relatively high number of goals.

Take the 2.01 with 188Bet for more than two goals.
