Lazio Players Betting on a Rest During the International Break | OneFootball

Lazio might gain an advantage over their Serie A rivals as the Biancocelesti players weren’t too active while on international duty

Thrilling Start to the Season

Before the international break, the Biancocelesti were enjoying a purple patch. They’re currently riding a six-match winning streak between the Serie A and the Europa League. Lazio’s run has been as prosperous and exhilarating as playing sweet-bonanza-slot.net Australia.

Marco Baroni’s men currently sit on top of the 36-club table in the Europa League group stage. Moreover, they find themselves in fifth place in the Serie A standings, only one point adrift of league leaders Napoli in what is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling title races in recent memory, with only two points separating the Top Six clubs. Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter and Juventus are also in the mix.

So amidst the slim margins, any factor could play a significant role in the long run, especially when it comes to the players’ energy levels. Transfermarkt.it published interesting stats on its official Instagram account, showing the combined number of minutes each Serie A squad accumulated during the November international break.

Lazio Players Earn 548 During the International Break

Despite having 11 players on international duty, Lazio players only assembled 548 minutes, thus landing 15th in the table. However, it should be noted that this figure was affected by several factors. For instance, Boulaye Dia initially tested positive for malaria upon landing in Senegal. And while he was later cleared, he returned from Africa without taking the field.

Nuno Tavares Suffered Injury with Portugal

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru also remained on the bench during Nigeria’s first contest due to a slight physical problem. As for Nuno Tavares, he finally made his debut for Portugal, collecting a few minutes against Poland, but he missed the ensuing match against Croatia after suffering a muscle injury.

Inter Lead the Charts

With the exception of Fiorentina who landed 18th on the list, Lazio is the squad that collected the least amount of playing time among the Top Six Serie A clubs. Inter lead the table with 1799 minutes, followed by their crosstown rivals Milan with 1561 minutes. Napoli complete the podium as their players managed to garner 1521 minutes.

Juventus Just Outside the Podium

Juventus are in fourth place, but by a large margin, with 1183 minutes, while Parma surprisingly land in the 5th spot with 1089, just ahead of Bologna, Torino and Roma, while Atalanta are 10th on the list.
