Lazio's Champions' League spot is now at risk and Empoli plan to take full
advantage of their troubles on home turf.
Roberto Mancini's men remain unbeaten on their travels this season, but their
record at the Stadio Olimpico is extremely poor for a title contender. Three
wins, seven draws and two defeats give an accurate picture of their
difficulties in the capital.
The 1-1 derby draw with Roma last week was a case in point, as despite
dominating much of the play they failed to kill the game off and were
punished by a late Antonio Cassano equaliser. The goalscorer was also sent
off, so Dejan Stankovic is suspended and replaced by Fabio Liverani. Sinisa
Mihajlovic is also in doubt with bruised ribs.
Empoli started the season with an away record that almost rivalled that of
Lazio, but they have since faltered and slipped back into the danger zone.
The 3-1 victory over Piacenza last week has boosted morale and given the
Tuscans a greater buffer between themselves and the bottom four, but the
on-going absence of Antonio Di Natale is a worry.
The latest knee injury will still keep the Italian international sidelined,
but Under-21 star Marco Borriello finally broke his goal duck last Sunday.
