&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina is on the hunt for their first win of the season against Lazio. After three draws with Parma, Venezia, and Monza, last week’s defeat to Atalanta has left the Viola eager to close the gap on the top teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Florence, Lazio arrives buoyed by their victory over Verona and is set on making it two in a row against the Viola.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina (60.5%) and Lazio (54.8%) are the two teams with the highest percentage of shots on target in this Serie A season; furthermore, only Viola (26) have hit the target more often than the Biancocelesti (23) in the current championship (on par with Milan and Atalanta).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are the team against which Lazio have won the most matches (59) and scored the most goals (209) in Serie A –the 150 previous meetings between the two teams is completed by 48 Viola wins and 43 draws.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio have lost only two of their last 14 matches against Fiorentina in Serie A (W9 D3), although one of those defeats came in the last match between the two teams on 26 February. In fact, Viola could get two wins in a row against the Biancocelesti in the topflight for the first time since the 2012/13 season, with Vincenzo Montella on the Tuscan bench.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina have collected four points in their last three games against Lazio in Serie A (W1 D1 L1): as many as they had gained in their previous 10 matches against the Biancocelesti in the competition (W1 D1 L8).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After winning their last league match against Lazio at the Franchi on 26 February 2-1, Fiorentina could win two consecutive home games against the Biancocelesti in Serie A for the first time since the period between December 2006 and February 2009 (three in that case, with Cesare Prandelli on the bench).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lucas Martínez Quarta has scored six goals in Serie A since the start of last season: in this period, no defender has more (six also for Theo Hernández).
