Fiorentina vs Lazio: prediction, H2H and probable lineups — 13.04.2026
One of the matches of Serie A's 32nd round will be played on Monday in Florence at the Artemio Franchi Stadium, where Fiorentina will host Lazio. Both teams come into this clash with contrasting emotions, making the encounter especially intriguing from a prediction standpoint.
Match preview
Fiorentina return to Serie A action after a painful defeat to Crystal Palace (0-3), which dealt a serious blow to the club's ambitions in European competition. However, domestically, the Viola have been far more consistent—unbeaten in their last four league matches, with two wins and two draws.
At home, Paolo Vanoli's side are gradually finding their balance, something that was particularly evident in their 1-1 draw against Inter, where Fiorentina looked every bit a match for their opponents. That said, suspensions to Gudmundsson and Fagioli, along with uncertainty over Kean's fitness, could limit the team's attacking options.
Lazio approach this fixture in good spirits despite their modest position in the table. Maurizio Sarri's men are unbeaten in their last five matches, with victories over Milan (1-0) and Bologna (2-0) highlighting the real potential of the Biancocelesti.
On the road, Lazio play with pragmatism and rarely collapse, though they're not known for prolific scoring away from home. Even with personnel issues, Lazio remain organized and are capable of putting up a fight against any opponent – an especially valuable trait when facing teams struggling for consistency.
Probable lineups
- Fiorentina: De Gea, Gosens, Pongracic, Ranieri, Dodo, Brescianini, Mandragora, N'Dour, Solomon, Piccoli, Harrison.
- Lazio: Motta, Marušić, Nielsen, Romagnoli, Tavares, Taylor, Cataldi, Bašić, Isaksen, Dia, Noslin.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last four head-to-head matches against Lazio, with two wins and two draws.
- Both teams have scored in five of the last six meetings between these sides.
- Lazio have suffered just one away defeat since November, showcasing impressive stability on the road.
Prediction
This match looks set to be a tightly contested affair: Fiorentina will be eager to bounce back after their European setback, while Lazio play without pressure and are on a solid run. The hosts are strong at home, but their squad issues could prove decisive. The Romans, meanwhile, are adept at playing with structure and punishing opponents' mistakes—especially away from home. The most logical outcome here is a draw, with both teams likely to find the net.
