In the 24th round of Serie A, Lazio takes on Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday (February 27). While the visitors are languishing in the relegation zone, Maurizio Sarri’s team will attempt to advance into the top four. Lazio held out for a goalless draw in Thursday’s return leg to secure their spot in the last 16 of the UEFA Conference League playoffs after defeating Cluj 1-0 in the first leg.
Sarri’s team is now focusing on Serie A, where they beat Salernitana 2-0 on Sunday to end their three-game losing streak. Lazio is fifth in the league with 43 points from 23 games, but if they win on Monday, they could move up to third.
In the meantime, Sampdoria’s home defeat to Bologna by a score of 2-1 was not enough to stop the slide. Since their 2-1 victory over Sassuolo on January 4, they have lost six of their last eight competitive games and drawn twice. Sampdoria is 19th in the standings with 11 points from 23 games, eight points behind Spezia outside the relegation zone, 17th.
