It has been an excellent period for Lazio since the end of the World Cup, as they have moved up to second in the Serie A soccer leagues standings. The Rome-based club come into this fixture after picking up victories in each of their previous three, and they could open up a ten-point advantage over Inter Milan with a success.
Spezia still faces the threat of relegation, but a win will open up a seven-point advantage. You can find our Spezia vs Lazio prediction and the latest soccer odds below.

Spezia vs. Lazio Analysis
Spezia
The hosts come into this fixture toward the bottom of the Serie A standings, but they still have a four-point cushion over Hellas Verona. Spezia comes into this game having won just once in their previous five, while they have avoided defeat in each of their last two. However, both of their recent matches ended in draws.
Their recent home form under Leonardo Sempici has been excellent, as they have avoided defeat in their last three league matches at Alberto Picco. Their attacking players have come to life in the previous two, as they have netted three goals. Defensively, they have also improved recently, as they failed to concede more than once in their last five matches in Serie A.
But, the Spezia scores still highlight that they could have difficulty finding the net against a talented Lazio side on Friday.
Lazio
Few sides have been as impressive as Lazio since the resumption following the World Cup. An excellent run of form has lifted them up into second, and they could extend their advantage over the chasing pack in the race for a Champions League spot on Friday.
Lazio comes into this game after winning six of their last seven league matches. That is as many league matches as they had won over their previous 14 before the start of this period.
The confidence within the team will be high after recent wins over Roma and Juventus, with the latter coming last weekend. The soccer stats highlight that they dominated that fixture and were good value for the winning goal netted by Mattia Zaccagni with 37 minutes remaining.

- Pick 2: Under 2.5 Goals (-138)
