Lazio vs Empoli: Home team to come on top

Italian Serie A returns after some days off and Lazio will welcome Empoli to their home stadium in match week 20. The host will hope to continue their impressive home form against the away team. Let's take a look at our well-researched betting tip.

Maurizo Sarri's men sit sixth after a couple of uninspiring performances. The home team has been inconsistent since the start of the season.

Their last match against Venezia ended in a 1-3 win for Lazio. The home team was without their talisman and still managed to win against the away team. The result left them eight points below the champions league spot.

Lazio has the second-best home record in the league and they will hope to extend their fine form at home.

Immobile returns for the home team after injury kept him away for some time.

The away team were on a good run of form before the defeat to AC Milan in their home stadium.

They were beaten 2-4 by AC Milan after a brace from Franck Kessie while Florenzi and Theo Hernandez both scored in that match.

The away team will again strive to continue their good away form when they visit Lazio at home on Thursday.

Lazio has won the last six matches against Empoli in recent times.

Lazio are well-positioned for this game and they will hope to start the new year on a good note, Lazio always wins against the away team, so we are backing Lazio to win.

Moreover, Empoli is a strong side but their performance against AC Milan shows they are beatable but they will always score. Both teams to score as well.

Immobile is back and I'm backing him to score as well.
