Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lazio, 10th position with 4 points and a goal difference of “0”
Pescara, 8th position with 4 points and a positive goal difference of +2

Pos Team P W D L Goals DIFF Points

Lazio and Pescara having the same 4 points each ahead of the Serie A Week 4 game  on Saturday 17 September 2016 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy at 18:00.  Let’s put it this way. Pressure is more for Lazio playing the home game.  Pescara who are newly promoted from Serie B this season will attempt to upset Lazio and even a draw might be OK, but not for Lazio on their quest to reach to the top 5 positions.

  • There are 10 precedents between Lazio and Pescara.  Stats showing Lazio with 6 wins, 2 draaws, and Pescara with 2 wins.   Pescara has never beaten Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium but ending only with a 2-2 draw back in 1988.  Lazio scoring 16 goals and Pescara 9 goals.
