Lazio have been very inconsistent in recent weeks, going undefeated in 12 of their last 14 matches in all competitions and winning six. The Rome club have defensive problems after failing to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 17 matches.

Simone Inzaghi's side drew 2-2 at home against Club Brugge to reach the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds. Lazio looked safe at 2-1 up in the 39th minute when the Belgian club were reduced to 10 men, but they conceded an equaliser and held on for a vital point.
