2019-20 Serie A

26-30 June 2020
Selected matches, round 28

Lazio will be aiming to keep the heat on Serie A leaders Juventus when they play host to Fiorentia at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday evening. 

Simone Inzaghi's troops return to action away to a free-scoring Atalanta on Wednesday evening before welcoming Fiorentina in the Italian capital this weekend, eager to build on their four-game winning run in the league. 

Le Aquile's superb run of form has pushed them within a shot of what would be only a third top-flight title and their first since winning the league under Sven-Göran Eriksson 20 years ago. As of Wednesday morning, Lazio sit four points behind league leaders and defending champions Juventus, but with a game in hand.

Fiorentina have already been in action since the league resumed following lockdown earlier this month. Germán Alejo Pezzella was on target for La Viola in a 1-1 draw at home to bottom placed Brescia earlier this week. 
 
When the teams met in Serie A earlier this season, Lazio claimed a 2-1 win thanks to a late winner from Immobile. Franck Ribery was amongst three players to be sent off late into the hot-tempered encounter which has underlined Fiorentina's struggles in the current campaign.
