We said: Empoli 0-1 Lazio

 Lazio's poor form means while they may be slight favourites for this one, it could be a much closer outing than Sarri would prefer. Hosts Empoli are in the midst of a rut though, and while two of their three wins this season came against Fiorentina and Napoli, this will be a tough task, especially with Caputo potentially out injured.
