Serie A Prediction: Empoli vs Lazio (04.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 17:30 WIB, Empoli will host Lazio at Stadio Carlo Castellani for Matchday 35 of the 2024-2025 Serie A season. Both teams have different objectives: Empoli is fighting to avoid relegation, while Lazio is chasing European qualification. Can Lazio bounce back after their recent Europa League exit? Let’s analyze both teams and provide a betting prediction.

Current Form – Empoli in Serie A 2025

Empoli is in deep trouble near the bottom of the table:

• Currently second-to-last (19th place)

• Just 2 points away from safety

• Upcoming fixtures: Lazio, Parma, Monza, Verona – all against lower-table teams
  

However, Empoli’s form is alarming:

• No wins in their last 22 Serie A matches

• Only victory was on penalties vs Juventus in the Coppa Italia back in February
  

The team is struggling both defensively and offensively, needing a massive turnaround to survive.

Current Form – Lazio in Serie A 2025

Lazio recently suffered a heartbreaking exit from the Europa League, losing on penalties to Bodo/Glimt. But they responded with a 2-0 league win over Genoa.

Unfortunately, inconsistency struck again:

• Last match: a disappointing 2-2 home draw vs Parma

• Now sitting just outside the top 6, tied with Roma but trailing on goal difference

• Still within reach of a Champions League spot: only 2 points behind 4th place
  

Coach Marco Baroni will push his team to capitalize on slip-ups from rivals.
