Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Lazio have been absolutely flawless in the Europa League and even lead the 36-club table after two matchdays, but they’ve had their ups and downs in Serie A. Marco Baroni’s men registered three wins, one draw and two defeats in their first six domestic outings, putting them 7th in the Serie A table.

Nevertheless, it must be said that the club’s form is improving with every new contest, as a compact group is slowly but surely emerging under Baroni’s guidance. The Biancocelesti scored 10 goals in their three fixtures combined, and even dealt Torino with their first defeat of the season last weekend, but they still have much work to do to improve their leaky defense.

Empoli Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Empoli have arguably been the biggest surprise of the Serie A campaign thus far, as they currently reside 6th in the standings. This is a remarkable feat considering how they were a few minutes away from relegation last season. Aside from Juventus, the Azzurri is the only side that hasn’t tasted defeat in the Italian top flight thus far this season.

The team’s early success has been built upon a robust backline that only conceded two goals in the first six rounds of the season, making them the second-best defense in the league behind Juventus. In their most recent outing, Empoli earned a hard-fought point in the Tuscan Derby against Fiorentina, and they wouldn’t mind doing likewise at the Olimpico on Sunday.
