Lazio will be hosting Monza at the Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A on Thursday.

Both sides are having very contrasting seasons so far, with the hosts, Lazio currently placed at third position in the league table, 11 points off leaders, Napoli and their visitors, at the far end of the table, at 15th position, 6 points away from the drop zone. Maurizio Sarri's side have been in decent form of late, having won three of their last five games across all competitions, they will look to continue their form with a win here. Lazio will be coming into this game on the back of a 1-0 triumph over Roma and will be building on that momentum. On the attack, they have been very clinical and have seen their efforts on goal yield a total of 25 so far this season. A very decent number only bested by second and First placed AC Milan and Napoli. At the back they have been very strong as well as they have given opponents very little to chew on. Lazio have the second best defense in the league this season after conceding only 8 goals all season.

Monza, on the other hand, are currently 15th in the table, six points above the relegation zone with a third of the season gone. Raffaele Palladino's side have been very poor this season as they have struggled to get any wind in their sails. They have the fifth worse defense in the league with 21 goals conceded, and on the attack they are very frail and impotent as they have only managed to score 13 all season. Monza will come into this game with three losses from their last five.

Looking at key numbers, Lazio clearly have the advantage here. They are tied for the third best attack in the league, having scored 25 goals in their 13 games so far this season. To add to that, they can also boast in having the second best defense in the league, having only conceded eight all season. There is a huge difference in form and quality between the two sides and this should be visible during the game. We are predicting a home win here with Lazio taking all three points comfortably by the end of the game.

拉齐奥将于周四在意甲的奥林匹克球场迎战蒙扎。

到目前为止，两支球队的赛季表现截然不同，东道主拉齐奥目前在积分榜上排名第三，比领头羊落后11分，而那不勒斯和他们的客队则排在积分榜的最末端，排在第15位，距离降级区有6分。毛里齐奥·萨里的球队最近状态不错，在最近的5场比赛中赢得了3场比赛，他们将在这里寻求一场胜利来延续他们的状态。拉齐奥将在1-0战胜罗马的基础上开始这场比赛，并将继续保持这种势头。在进攻方面，他们表现得非常冷静，本赛季到目前为止，他们在进球方面的努力已经达到了25个进球。这个数字相当不错，仅次于第二名和第一名的AC米兰和那不勒斯。在后防线上，他们非常强大，也给了对手很少的机会。拉齐奥本赛季的防守在联赛中排名第二，整个赛季只丢了8球。

另一方面，蒙扎目前在积分榜上排名第15位，比降级区高出6分，而本赛季已经过去了三分之一。拉菲尔·帕拉迪诺的球队本赛季表现很差，因为他们一直在努力争取顺风顺水。他们的防守在联赛中排名第五，丢了21球，在进攻上他们非常虚弱和无能，因为他们整个赛季只进了13球。蒙扎队在过去的五场比赛中输了三场。

看看关键数据，拉齐奥显然在这方面有优势。他们在联赛中排名第三，在本赛季迄今为止的13场比赛中打进了25球。除此之外，他们还拥有联盟第二好的防守，整个赛季只丢了8场球。双方在形式和质量上有巨大的差异，这在比赛中应该是显而易见的。我们预测拉齐奥会在主场取胜，在比赛结束前轻松拿下全部三分。
