Lazio to record potentially vital win over Celtic
3858

Lazio have endured a surprisingly difficult campaign in Group E of the Europa League. In fact, the team from the eternal city have taken just three points from as many games in Europe’s secondary competition.

Their poor form means that they are currently third-place in the group, three points behind second-place Cluj and fourth behind group leaders Celtic.

A clash with the Scottish champions on Thursday evening gives Simone Inzaghi’s team a big opportunity to make up some ground on the leaders.

Lazio’s recent form in Serie A has been good, as they head into this clash on the back of three straight wins. However, their recent record in the Europa League is woeful, as the Italian outfit has lost six of their last seven games in the competition. They have also conceded at least two goals in five of those six matches.

Their recent home record in the competition is not too bad, as Lazio have won seven of their last 11 matches in the Europa League at the Stadio Olimpico. They have also scored at least two goals in six of their last eight home matches in the competition.

Celtic have enjoyed a strong start to the season both in European and domestically. They currently sit top of Group E and of the SPL.

The Hoops taking seven points from their last three games in the group has been an impressive start to their European campaign. Last time out in the group, Lennon’s side beat Thursday evening’s opponents 2-1 in the reverse fixture.

One negative is that the Scottish team have found away wins hard to come by in the Europa League, winning just three times in 26 matches on their travels. However, two of those three wins have been in their last four away matches.

Forebet predicts that Lazio will put themselves right back in the mix for qualification for the knockout stages with a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
