Lazio enjoying a fine home run
Lazio bounced back from their Europa League opening match defeat and beat Lokomotiv Moscow at the Olimpico. Moreover, the Eagles are undefeated at the Olimpico in the last 12 games and have a scoring average of 3.2 in the last five home games. Also, Sarri’s team found the back of the net in nine of their last ten fixtures in front of their fans.
Notably, the main difference between Lazio’s two matches in the Europa League was their ability to score against Lokomotiv. As a result, Sarri’s team gained confidence and coupled that with another home win last weekend against Serie A champions Inter 3-1. Hence, expect to see the net shaking a couple of times or more with Lazio’s current form.
Marseille looking ahead for better results
Marseille needed their last win in the Ligue 1 badly to raise their morale after they went winless in four competitive games. In fact, the 4-1 win was “Les Olympiens” biggest win of the season and was crucial to get back to winning ways before the trip to Rome. Equally important is Sampaoli’s team’s performance with 64% of possession and 513 completed passes.
Regarding the Europa League, Marseille drew their two games so far and are facing an uphill battle to qualify to the next round. Nonetheless, this year’s result is better than their last time in the UEL in 2018/19 when they lost all of their home games. During that season Marseille lost twice to Lazio in the group stages. Thus the French team has the chance to avenge those losses.
Lazio vs Marseille Prediction
There is no doubt that Lazio are in better form than Marseille. For this reason, the Italians are the favorites with the bookies to win with odds of 1.82 at Vbet. In addition, and as we covered in the preview, Lazio’s supreme home record makes them very hard to beat.
On the other hand, Jorge Sampaoli must feel his team can perform better with the right attitude. As we saw against Galatasaray, tension was high among the French team and that led to losing two points at home.
To conclude, we will back a home win as we think Lazio have what it takes to come on top. Additionally, all the stats show that the home team are tough to beat. And with Marseille losing their last three away games, we think the French will find it difficult to cope with Sarri’s team.
