Lazio vs Brescia Prediction
For Lazio, striker Ciro Immobile has been in stunning form. The Italy international has scored 34 goals in 35 league games for his side, and is leading the race for the top goalscorer in Italy. It would not be surprising to see him continue his form against a struggling Brescia.
Brescia, on the other hand, arguably only have two more games to enjoy Sandro Tonali. The 20-year-old looks set to leave this summer, with Juventus and Inter Milan extremely interested. The midfielder has been Brescia's best player this season, and will look to end his spell at the club on a positive note.
Prediction: Lazio 3:0 Brescia
