A win is the only way for Lokomotiv Moscow

This will be the last chance for Lokomotiv Moscow to grab at least a Europa Conference League berth. For that, the Russian side needs to win to raise their tally to five points. Moreover, Loko need to register their first win in the UEL after two defeats and two draws. Lokomotiv’s home record in recent games, however, may raise some concern among the Russian fans.

To Illustrate, coach Markus Gisdol’s team lost three of their last four home games. In addition, Lokomotiv’s defense is suffering in recent matches at home as they have no clean sheets in the last five. During their last match in the UEL, Lokomotiv came back from Istanbul with a precious point which gave Gisdol and his team a slight hope. 

Lazio searching for three points on a cold night in Moscow

With a  win two draws and one defeat, Lazio are second in Group B with five points. Hence, the Biancocelesti can’t afford to lose any points as they travel to Moscow as they are just one point above Marseille at third. Indeed, Sarri’s team maintained their second position in the last round with an important draw in Marseille. And with Marseille traveling to Istanbul in this round, a win in Moscow may settle their qualification for the knock-out stages.

After losing their opening match away to Galatasaray, Lazio kept their next three outings free of defeats. Last season Lazio played in the Champions League and made it to the last 16 where they lost to Bayern. Surely, Sarri wants nothing less from that achievement as they search for three points in Moscow.

Lazio will want to forget their last result in Serie A when they lost To Juventus at the Olimpico. Obviously, the Biancocelesti need to bounce back from that defeat. Since another defeat here will threaten their chances of a place in the UEL knock-out stage.

Lokomotiv on the other hand, are not playing well at home, conceding in every fixture in their last five. Hence, the reason why the bookies are favoring Lazio to win and paying 1.82.

As for the goals market, all four matches of Lokomotiv this season in the Europa League saw two or fewer goals. While Lazio’s three out of four matches saw under 2.5 goals

In conclusion, with the importance of the match for both teams, we will choose a double chance outcome combined with under 3.5 goals. Thus in this way we minimize the risk for a Lazio win and the probability of under 3.5 goals is 75%.
