Lazio will be looking to continue their impressive form in the Europa League this season when they welcome Real Sociedad to Stadio Olimpina on Thursday for Matchday 7 of 8.
Despite this season's Europa League featuring the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, among others, Lazio have been the best team in the competition by a margin. I Biancocelesti sit top of the Europa League standings with sixteen points from six games and have only lost once on European soil this season.
But Marco Baroni's men endured a difficult run of form in recent weeks and went into last weekend's Serie A clash with Hellas Verona on the back of a 3-game winless streak. The Eagles managed to end that run with a comfortable 3:0 win, thanks to goals from Gigot, Dia and Zaccagni and will be hoping for a similar performance on Thursday.
Real Sociedad meanwhile have not been at their best both domestically and in Europe this season. The white-blues sit outside the top ten in the Europa League standings with ten points from six games but they could move into the top eight with a win at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday night.
Lazio vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: Lazio to win or Draw
Lazio may have won just two of their last six games in all competitions, but beating them at the Stadio Olimpico is easier said than done, especially in Europe. The White and Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last twelve Europa League home games, a run that includes seven wins.
That said, Real Sociedad are struggling away from home at the moment. The visitors won just one of their last three competitive away games, and that victory came against Primera Federacion side SD Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey over two weeks ago.
- Best Tip: Double Chance Lazio
- Lazio vs Real Sociedad prediction: 1-1
Lazio team news
Given the result and scoreline against Hellas Verona in the Italian top flight last weekend, Lazio head coach Marco Baroni is expected to resist the temptation to make changes to his XI.
Matías Vecino (thigh), Patric (ankle) and Manuel Lazzari (knee) missed that game due to injuries and Thursday’s game will come too soon for the trio.
