Lazio is watching their season fall apart, while Crotone finally got their first victory under new coach Serse Cosmi, perfect intro for Friday's meeting. Read our reasons for Lazio vs Crotone prediction and betting tips.
The Aquile have lost three of the last four Serie A games, including possibly decisive showdowns with Inter and Juventus, which saw them slide down to the seventh place with a game in hand. This match is played on Friday afternoon so they can prepare for the Champions League trip to Bayern Munich. Simone Inzaghi felt Lazio ‘deserved much more’ than their 3-1 defeat to Juventus and rues wasted opportunities when leading. ‘Evidently, we have to do more.’ It was another disappointing match for the Biancocelesti, who were already coming off a shock defeat to Bologna. Joaquin Correa had given them the deserved lead after 14 minutes, but Adrien Rabiot’s scorcher drew level, then Alvaro Morata bagged a brace in three minutes. When the scoreline was still 1-1, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s header had bounced off the crossbar. “It’s difficult to comment on a 3-1 result after that game, but evidently what we do isn’t enough and we have to do more,” Inzaghi told media. “This defeat hurts, as we were 1-0 up, doing very well, hit the bar when it was 1-1, then conceded a counter-attack in the Juventus Stadium from our move. “We deserved far more, I think we controlled much of the game, but we need to do more. We mustn’t give up, we have to keep believing in what we do and start to get players back because there’s a long way to go.”
With these recent results, Lazio is falling behind in the race for a top-four finish. “We are running behind schedule, but we had sprinted to make up lost ground, then missed some important players. We have to keep going and not lose our confidence.” Lazio in theory should’ve had more stamina than Juve, seeing as their Tuesday night game with Torino was postponed, but they seemed to run out of steam first. The goals were conceded moments after a double substitution, with Patric and Gonzalo Escalante unable to switch on in time. “Even the first goal makes me angry, as we reached the 37th minute without Juventus getting a single shot on goal. I thought Rabiot was trying to cross and it went in. The regrets are that we could’ve doubled our lead, we made too many mistakes and you cannot afford that away to Juventus.”

Crotone interrupted a run of seven consecutive defeats with the 4-2 victory over COVID-hit Torino and is boosted by the arrival of new boss Cosmi. However, the committed Roma fan has already managed to pick up a touchline ban. ‘I won’t deny I suffered at being cast out.’ The Calabria club eventually pushed Torino aside 4-2 in a relegation thriller. “I feel marvelous, but I’d also be a hypocrite if I denied I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment. I am happy above all for Crotone, as I’ve found some really good people here who have had a tough time this season,” Cosmi told media. “I thank Crotone for this opportunity. This is a team that has a lot of quality and Giovanni Stroppa deserves credit for putting the side together. After all, I’ve only been here for six days, so there’s only so much I could’ve done to affect things. I still have time to do damage!” he joked.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
