The tip: 1 + No Gol

—

Lazio want to keep winning. Challenging the Biancocelesti at the Olimpico is always complicated, especially for the good time they are experiencing. The defense holds up well and the attack is not suffering from the absence of Immobile. That’s why a good chance could be the sign 1 combined with the No Gol: 2.70 the proposal of Goldbet and Better, 2.62 that of Bet365.

How they arrive

Lazio is the team that has not conceded a goal (six) in the top five European leagues in several consecutive games: Sarri’s team is only one game away from equaling the club’s historic record of seven clean sheets in Serie A, won between February and March 1998 with Sven-Göran Eriksson on the bench. Felipe Anderson and his teammates recorded the second best start in the league in the three-point era (24, as in 2002/03 and fewer than the 28 collected in the first 11 of 2017/18). They have also conceded only five goals, the best result in the first eleven games since 1973/74: the season in which the club won their first championship.

Only Napoli (zero) have lost fewer games than Lazio (their only knockout against Spalletti’s team) from the beginning of May to today in Serie A: in the last 15 league games there have been nine wins, five draws and only one defeat. Salernitana’s performance is different at home (10 points won) and away (only three): the grenades have lost without scoring the last two games away from Arechi and have not collected three knockouts in a row without scoring away from home since November 1998 .
