Ternana Femminile vs Lazio W
ROME (Interstat) — A surging Lazio W looks to continue its climb up the Serie A Women table when it visits struggling Ternana Femminile on Sunday.
The match at Ternana’s home ground kicks off at 2:45 p.m. local time (1345 GMT).
Lazio (6-4-0) enters on a three-match winning streak, most recently a 1-0 home victory over Parma on Dec. 14. Prior to that, it secured road wins at Sassuolo (2-1 on Dec. 8) and Napoli (1-0 on Nov. 9). Its form has been inconsistent against the league’s top tier, however, with recent losses to Inter Milan (2-0) and AS Roma (1-0).
Ternana (1-2-7) seeks to halt a slide, having failed to score in its last three outings. It fell 2-0 at home to AS Roma on Dec. 13 and 1-0 at Fiorentina on Dec. 7, following a 0-0 draw with Parma on Nov. 22. Its lone victory this season was a 1-0 result at Sassuolo on Nov. 15. Defensive struggles have been a theme, including a 5-0 loss to Inter and a 4-3 defeat to Napoli.
According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Lazio 2, Ternana 1.
The matchup presents a clear contrast. Lazio’s steady, low-scoring efficiency — conceding more than one goal only once this season — will test a Ternana side that has been porous at the back, allowing a league-high 22 goals through 10 matches.
Following this contest, Lazio faces a crucial stretch, hosting Fiorentina on Jan. 24 before February fixtures against Juventus and AC Milan. Ternana’s next scheduled match is at home against Juventus on Feb. 22.
Key Matchup: Lazio’s organized defense against Ternana’s attack, which must rediscover its scoring touch to challenge. Ternana has been shut out in five of its ten matches.
Injury reports for both clubs were not immediately available Friday.
