Lazio will look to strengthen their bid for a top-six finish in Serie A when they host a revitalized Parma side at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening.

Marco Baroni’s men, who were imperious at home earlier this season, have seen their form in Rome deteriorate alarmingly since November’s 3-0 victory over Bologna. That match marked their fifth consecutive home win, but a subsequent 6-0 hammering by Inter set off an alarming trend — just one win in their last nine home games. Even February’s 5-1 dismantling of Monza failed to spark a revival, with four successive draws against Napoli, Udinese, Torino and Roma following.

Despite their struggles in the capital, Lazio remain sixth, clinging to the final European spot with three away wins from their last four matches. However, with just one point separating them from fourth-placed Bologna and fierce competition from Juventus and others, there is little margin for error. Winning at home again is vital to ensure they do not rely on Coppa Italia permutations for European qualification.

Visitors Parma, under Cristian Chivu, have been a different side in recent weeks. After languishing near the bottom, the Gialloblu have lost just once in eight Serie A outings, securing a vital 1-0 win over Juventus in midweek to boost survival hopes. Though five of those matches have ended in draws, the steady accumulation of points has lifted them six clear of the relegation zone.

Historically, however, Parma have fared poorly at the Olimpico, losing their last eight visits to Lazio in Serie A. While Chivu’s side have been more resilient on their travels — holding both Verona and Fiorentina to goalless draws recently — they have not won an away game since November.

Lazio will be without Reda Belahyane (suspension) and likely miss Manuel Lazzari, Nuno Tavares and Patric through injury. Nevertheless, the attacking trio of Valentin Castellanos, Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni offers Baroni the firepower needed to unlock Parma’s defense. The visitors, meanwhile, will hope Ange-Yoan Bonny can continue his breakout campaign amid an injury-hit squad.

Although Parma’s newfound resilience under Chivu should make them a stubborn opponent, Lazio’s superior attacking quality and urgency to secure European football should finally end their home frustrations. A professional, controlled 2-0 victory seems likely for the Aquilotti.

拉齐奥将在周一晚上在奥林匹克球场主场迎战重新焕发活力的帕尔马，以加强他们对意甲前六的争夺。

本赛季早些时候，马可·巴罗尼的队员们在主场表现得非常霸气，但自从11月3-0战胜博洛尼亚后，他们在罗马的状态就急剧恶化。那场比赛是他们主场连续第五场胜利，但随后被国米以6比0大胜，这一惊人的趋势在过去的9场主场比赛中只取得了一场胜利。即使在2月5-1大胜蒙扎的比赛中，球队也没能重振雄风，之后又连续四场战平那不勒斯、乌迪内斯、都灵和罗马。

尽管拉齐奥在首都表现不佳，但他们仍然排名第六，在过去的四场比赛中取得了三场客场胜利，紧紧抓住了欧洲最后的席位。然而，他们与排名第四的博洛尼亚只差一分，而且还面临着来自尤文图斯和其他球队的激烈竞争，他们几乎没有犯错的余地。再次主场取胜对确保他们不依赖意大利杯的阵容来获得欧洲资格至关重要。

在克里斯蒂安·齐沃的带领下，帕尔马在最近几周表现出了不同的一面。在接近垫底之后，米兰在意甲的8场比赛中只输了1场，在周中以1-0的比分战胜尤文图斯，提高了生存的希望。虽然其中五场比赛以平局告终，但稳定的积分积累使他们从降级区中脱颖而出。

然而，从历史上看，帕尔马在奥林匹克球场表现不佳，在意甲联赛中最近8次做客拉齐奥都输掉了比赛。齐沃的球队在客场比赛中表现得更有弹性——最近他们0比0逼平了维罗纳和佛罗伦萨——但自去年11月以来，他们还没有赢过一场客场比赛。

拉齐奥将失去贝拉希亚恩（停赛），拉扎里、塔瓦雷斯和帕特里克也可能因伤缺阵。尽管如此，卡斯特利亚诺斯、布拉耶·迪亚和马蒂亚·扎卡尼的进攻三人组为巴罗尼提供了打开帕尔马防线所需的火力。与此同时，客队希望安吉-约恩-邦尼能在伤病困扰的球队中继续他的突破之旅。

虽然帕尔马在齐沃的带领下恢复了活力，这应该会让他们成为一个顽强的对手，但拉齐奥出色的进攻质量和确保欧洲足球的紧迫性应该会最终结束他们在主场的沮丧。一场专业的、可控的2-0胜利似乎对阿基罗蒂来说是可能的。
