Lazio are winless so far this year. Following a 3-3 draw against Empoli earlier this month, they faced a 2-1 defeat at Inter Milan on Sunday.

Salernitana's win came at a great time as they were winless across all competitions since October and the three crucial points took them to within six points of safety. Two losses in their last five outings have seen Lazio drop to eighth place in the league standings.
