Nice must absolutely secure a win in Rome to keep their hopes of qualification alive. They also need to bounce back after a disastrous October…
LAZIO IN GREAT FORM
Logic prevailed. Playing away against the bottom team of the Italian league, Lazio secured another victory, four days before hosting OGC Nice in the Europa League.
The Biancocelesti took the lead within the first half-hour with goals from Bastos (4′), Immobile (13′), and Marusic (24′). Lazaar narrowed the gap for Benevento after the break (55′), but the visitors widened the margin again with goals from Parolo (76′) and Nani (86′).
As expected, Ciro Immobile—scoring his 14th goal of the season in Serie A—and his teammates claimed their eighth consecutive win, confirming their outstanding form this season (winning 13 out of their 15 matches across all competitions, with 1 defeat and 1 draw).
