Lazio managed to continue their stellar progress under Simeone Inzaghi after going eight matches without a defeat. Even then, manager Inzaghi claimed that there was room for improvement from the squad.
Since suffering the 2-0 loss against AC Milan in the middle of September, Lazio have been undefeated in all competitions. It has been an impressive turnaround of fortune since the appointment of Inzaghi. The run has helped Lazio stay in touch with the top three. The opportunity to finish in the Champions League spots will be very crucial for the club in order to make progress going forward.
After managing a 3-1 win over Genoa, the team has managed to go within one point of third placed Milan. This was an extremely good result for the team and it also helped them find the confidence back after a 1-1 draw with Napoli in the previous match.
One of the big tasks for Inzaghi would be to improve the defensive record of the team, which continues to be poor with no clean sheets in the last six matches. That hasn't stopped fans backing them to challenge for one of the Champions League spots this season though, helped in part by some ridiculous odds on offer at bookies like Bet35 if you follow the new customer deposit bonus instructions.
Since the back to back clean sheets against Empoli and Udinese at the start of October, the club have not kept a clean sheet in any match. Lazio have certainly been helped by the lack of any form of European football to act as a distraction to the domestic game.
“We had a great first half. We could have finished it off by being further ahead, but we were playing Genoa who are a good team. We conceded, but we did well to get back on track. We did well and now we need to move forward like this. We are young and we have room for improvement. I can’t wait to have a fully fit squad and to have more selection dilemmas!” said Inzaghi.
