Betting Tips
This Spezia vs. Lazio prediction will have an effect on the fight for Europe and the relegation scrap. This weekend’s Serie A action contains clashes at both ends of the table.
Lazio is in town competing for a Champions League berth while Spezia is only four points above the relegation zone. Lazio is now second in Serie A.
Spezia vs Lazio
As Maurizio Sarri’s team has found form just in time, Lazio appears to be in a strong position to secure a well-deserved spot back in the Champions League for the upcoming campaign by finishing in the top four domestically.
They have won their past three straight Serie A games and are unbeaten in their last seven league games going into this weekend’s away meeting against struggling Spezia.
They will be confident of beating a Spezia squad that has only won once in their last 11 league games to extend their winning streak to four at the Stadio Alberto Picco.
Spezia Calcio, currently sitting at 17 will be looking for an important home win. SS Lazio Roma, on the other hand, sits in 2 of the league table and will be looking to improve their position with a win. This match will be a tough test for both teams, and it should be an exciting match to watch.
Verdict
Yet, as they attempt to chart a steady course toward the finish of the season, Lazio’s three-game winning streak has not included high-scoring victories, with Sarri’s team netting under 2.5 goals in each of the three games. Moreover, this year, they have only ever scored more than 2.5 goals in a league game.
Only two of Spezia’s last seven games saw over 2.5 goals scored in total inside 90 minutes of play, which further suggests that this match won’t be a thriller at either end in terms of total goals scored.
Lazio under Sarri will come closer to their Champions League goal with another victory, but Spezia could face difficulty if they suffer another setback.
Tip: Under 2.5 goals/ BTTS (NO)

Toulouse vs Lyon
Toulouse’s primary objective as a Ligue 2 team last season was to avoid the drop. Toulouse is 12 points above the danger zone with eight games left in the season. The last two games were won by Philippe Montanier’s group.
They defeated Montpellier 2-1 on the road in the previous encounter. That game was pretty evenly matched, but the visitors’ superior finishing proved the deciding factor.
Lyon anticipated a far better season. They are currently a long way from the top three spots and the Champions League for the following season. Nonetheless, in all competitions, Lyon had just one loss in their last eight games.
They defeated Rennes 3-1 at home in the previous game. As they scored all three goals, the home team took control.
Verdict
Going for over 2.5 goals when it comes to Toulouse makes sense, especially when it comes to this Toulouse vs. Lyon prediction. With two games in a row coming up in the last few weeks, the home team has played the most “over” matches (20) in the league this season. With two of their previous five games featuring at least two goals scored, Lyon is just outside the middle of the pack in terms of rankings. Nonetheless, their head-to-head record is the most crucial fact for this decision. Incredibly, twelve of their most recent 15 games went over the goal line.
It has been nine years since the last time Toulouse beat Lyon, and since then it has been 13 games that have passed. Checking on those matches, Lyon won 11 of them with a couple ending in a draw. One of those two split games happened earlier this season when the score was 1-1. It is also important to note that Toulouse has lost three straight home matches while Lyon’s away form has improved significantly taking them to three wins in their last five visits.
Tip: Lyon to Win/ Over 2.5
