Lazio vs. Fiorentina: battle for a comeback

Lazio and Fiorentina meet at the Olimpico in a very delicate clash. The Biancocelesti need to change gear, having not won since 13 December against Parma. After draws with Cremonese and Udinese, they then lost to Napoli. Fiorentina, despite securing only their second win of the season, also need to improve if they want to move off of the bottom of the table.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 83 official meetings between the two teams in Rome: 44 Lazio victories (latest 1-0 in Serie A 2023/24), 23 draws (latest 1-1 in Serie A 2022/23), and 16 Fiorentina victories (latest 2-1 in Serie A 2024/25).

Lazio has scored in 12 consecutive home matches against Fiorentina: the last match without goals was the 0-0 in Serie A 2013/14.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lazio is on 24 points after 18 matches: it's been since 2015/16 that the Biancocelesti closed the first half with a similar record. On that occasion, Lazio totaled 27 points, which could be equaled in case of victory against Fiorentina.

Lazio without penalties conceded in 18 rounds of Serie A 2025/26, a record shared with Roma.

Lazio (7) is the team with the most red cards received in Serie A.

Fiorentina is on 12 points after 18 matches: regardless of the result against Lazio, this is the worst performance in a first half since Serie A has had 20 teams (previous negative record 21 points in 2019/20 and 2020/21).

COACHES and PLAYERS

Against Cremonese, Moise Kean scored his sixth seasonal goal (5 in Serie A + 1 in Conference), all scored at the Franchi. The Fiorentina striker's last away goal dates back to last May, 3-2 in Udine, last matchday of the 2024/25 championship.
