Team Analysis
Fiorentina is a mid-to-upper-tier Serie A team with the potential to compete for European football. Last season, in 38 league matches, Fiorentina recorded 17 wins, 9 draws, and 12 losses, finishing 8th in the league, thereby earning qualification for the third-tier European competition this season. However, Fiorentina has yet to find a win in the new season. After a 2-3 away loss to Atalanta in the last round, they have only managed 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 4 matches, still awaiting their first league victory.

Lazio has performed well in recent seasons, consistently securing a place in European competitions. Last season, Lazio finished 7th in the league with 18 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses in 38 matches, earning a spot in this season's Europa League group stage. This season, Lazio has continued to show steady form. After a 2-1 home win against Verona in the last round, they have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the past 4 matches, positioning them in the upper-midtable.

Odds Analysis
From the league's reputation, Lazio ranks slightly higher than Fiorentina, and in their head-to-head history, Lazio has generally had the upper hand, despite losing to Fiorentina away last season. So far this season, Fiorentina has not performed as well as last season, while Lazio has maintained a stable form. Referring to last season when Fiorentina had a -0.25 handicap at home, the odds still give Fiorentina a -0.25 handicap for this match, which reflects a certain level of support. Therefore, Fiorentina at home should at least avoid defeat, and there is even a chance for a win.

Pick: Fiorentina -0.25
