Lazio’s performance in Serie A this season has
not been up to their usual standards due to their focus on the Champions
League. They currently have a record of seven wins, three draws, and seven
losses, which places them 20 points behind the league
leaders, Inter. Realistically, their chances of competing for the league
championship are slim. However, Lazio are traditionally considered one of the
top teams in Serie A, and they have started to regain their form after a brief
adjustment period. In their most recent league match, they defeated Empoli 2-0
in an away game, ending a three-match winless streak in all competitions. It is
worth noting that Lazio have been particularly strong at their home ground. In
the eight home games they have played in the league so far, they have achieved
four wins, two draws, and two losses. Their home performances have been
impressive, making their home stadium a scoring powerhouse for them.
Frosinone’s performance this season, as a newly
promoted team, has indeed been impressive. They have shown determination and
competitiveness against strong opponents, as evidenced by their proactive
display against Juventus, despite losing 1-2 at home in the last round.
Frosinone’s ability to hold their own against top-tier teams is a testament to
their progress. Furthermore, Frosinone’s notable victory over Napoli, defeating
them 4-0 in the Coppa Italia, highlights their potential and indicates that
they should not be underestimated. However, Frosinone’s weakness lies in their
away performances. They have struggled on the road, managing only two draws and
suffering six losses in their eight away games in the league so far. This
inconsistency away from home can be regarded as a significant weakness for
them.
Both sides are not in their ideal shape, but
Lazio are obviously stronger in terms of overall strength. Additionally,
Frosinone’s weakness in away games further adds to the challenge they face when
facing a superior team like Lazio on the road. Considering these factors,
Lazio, having the home advantage in the upcoming match, can be seen as the
favorite.
