Serie A Preview: Viola, Lazio meet in key clash

Vincenzo Montella's Fiorentina easily beat Inter last time out in the league and host Lazio at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday.

Losing just one of their opening six league games has been a good effort by injury-hit Fiorentina.

The absences of strikers Mario Gomez and Giuseppe Rossi have been felt, with Montella's side scoring just five league goals.

"I don't know how far we can go, as we have important players who are injured, but the team is made of more than just two elements and we proved that," the Spaniard told Radio Blu.

"Beating Inter gave us confidence."

Mazzarri's side have just two wins in six and sit 10th, quickly slipping away from the top teams.

High-flying Juventus, who inflicted Roma's loss, travel to bottom side Sassuolo confident of making it seven from seven.
