Lazio-Parma: Baroni needs to win to fuel the Champions race, formations and TV

Rome 27 April 2025 - The season's matches are now coming to an end and with only 15 points to be awarded between now and the end of the championship, those who still have to reach their goals are looking for that boost needed to make the difference. This applies perfectly to both Lazio, both al Parma, teams that tomorrow, April 28, 2025, at 20 pm will face each other in one of the matches of this rich Monday evening of Serie AOn one hand the chase Champions League of Lazio, where the Biancocelesti must win and hope for missteps by some rivals to regain their fourth place for a long time in the season. On the other hand, a Parma which with the three points could put the arrow in its pursuit of salvation and confirm the top category also this season.

La Lazio reacted to the elimination of Europa League. The success on the field of the Genoa was precious and the excellent performance that went with it gave the team an important boost of confidence. The busy schedule had caused the team from the capital to fall significantly in the standings, causing them to give up their long-held fourth place. The very heavy defeat against Bologna was in a certain sense symbolic and also served as a prelude to the elimination that then occurred against Bodo / Glimt. The absences have weighed heavily and the fluctuating performance is easy to explain if we add together the factors previously listed. Now, however, all energies will focus only on the championship. It is clear, the formation of Baroni she is certainly not the favourite in the chase Champions, in terms of quality the team is not the best and cannot even boast the best form. Having said that, however, the calendar is not impossible and the direct clash against Juventus It could also offer the chance of overtaking, should the Bianconeri climb to fourth place in the final stages of the championship.

There are those who, on the other hand, seem to have found their best form and in the last few weeks are putting the arrow towards their salvation. Parma in the last six games he has started to get into gear, obtaining as many useful results under the guidance of Cristian Chivu on the bench. The Romanian coach managed to bring down the first Bologna of Italian, then stopped Inter on a draw in his ongoing streak of positive results, he also drew with Fiorentina, until the last day where it also narrowly surpassed the Juventus. A talented team that has found great solidity in defense and seems to excel in the challenges against the big teams. The ducal team today seems to respond to this type of identikit, for this reason the biancoceleste team cannot afford to underestimate the Emilian team. With the three points at the Olimpico, the gialloblù could even climb to +9 from the relegation zone, putting a serious mortgage on their permanence in Serie A.
