At 01:00 Beijing time on October 31, Lazio will host Salernitana. This game, there is a story behind it.
The two teams are no longer superficially linked, but let's not forget that both teams have long belonged to the same owner: Lotito.
Lazio have been in good form lately, with Lazio dominating some of the initiative after the Europa League win over Midtjylland, but given that only the top group in the Europa League can qualify directly, Lazio's final Europa League group stage away to Feyenoord in midweek is still crucial.
In the league, Lazio have temporarily entered the Champions League zone, while Lottito's team is generally positioned to reach the Europa League. In the league, there is not much pressure on Lazio at the moment, and the key battle is the next round of the Rome derby.
Salernitana's strength has been significantly improved after the summer window, and this season it has a certain advantage against other mid-to-lower and lower teams. The 3-5-2 formation is also generally more solid. Salernitana is currently in 11th place, exceeding the team's relegation expectations, and there is not much pressure either. However, it should be noted that Salernitana has not performed well this season against teams with better passing control.
Salernitana's three central defenders are relatively tall in style, and they are good against high-altitude explosions, but they are slow to turn around, face delicate small cooperation, and have average defensive ability.
With Mobile continuing to be absent for the game, Lazio still used Felipe Anderson to play a pseudo-No.9. Two highly skilled players, Pedro and Alberto, are also expected to start.
So can Lazio beat the "little brother of yesteryear" in this game? Look at the Pedro gesture above~!
