Command Analysis
Lazio
ItalyCurrent form
Lazio were not among the tournament main favourites before the start of the Europa League, but they certainly expected to fight for a place in the playoff zone, and their selection of players allowed them to set such goals. Marco Baroni team started with a crushing 3:0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv, and then the Romans built on their success, scoring six points in the confrontation with Twente (2:0) and Porto (2:1).
The first, and so far the only, loss of points happened in the fifth round, where Lazio sensationally lost points in a confrontation with Ludogorets, drawing a goalless draw with the opponent. In the last round, Lazio unexpectedly easily beat Ajax 3:1 away and thus headed the tournament table with 16 points - falling out of the top eight will be almost impossible.
In Serie A, Lazio has also had success, which for many is quite unexpected, given the scale of the summer changes. At the moment, the eagles occupy fourth place in the table with 39 points and are two points ahead of Juventus, the entire fight for a ticket to the Champions League is still ahead. Having beaten Verona 3:0 in the last round, Lazio broke an unsuccessful series of three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gigot and Pellegrini are disqualified. Vecino, Lazzari and Patrick are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lazio have only won one of their last four matches.
- Lazio have conceded in six of their last seven matches
- Lazio have scored in five of their six Europa League matches
Probable line-up: Provedel - Hysaj, Hila, Romagnoli, Tavares - Rovella, Guendouzi - Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni - Castellanos.
Real Sociedad
SpainCurrent form
Real Sociedad was definitely considered one of the obvious contenders for a place in the top eight – the selection of players allowed them to compete for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals. Imanol Alguacil team started with an away draw 1:1 against Nice, and in the second round they even managed to lose 1:2 at home to Anderlecht. The white-blues got their first victory in the third round, beating Maccabi Tel Aviv with a score of 2:1. However, the failures did not end there – Victoria unexpectedly inflicted a second defeat on the Basques (1:2).
When the situation became critical, Real Sociedad managed to improve – in the fifth round, Ajax was beaten 2-0 without much chance (2-0). This time, the white-blues were able to build on their success and crushed Dynamo Kyiv at home 3-0. These six points helped them reach 12th place in the table and there is a chance to fight for a ticket to the 1/8 finals – eighth-placed Rangers are ahead by one point.
In the Spanish championship, Real Sociedad frankly failed in the first round. The stake was clearly on a ticket to the Champions League, but at the moment the Basques occupy only the seventh line in the table. There is already an 11-point gap from the fourth Athletic, which will be very difficult to make up. In the last round, Real Sociedad lost 0:1 away to Valencia, suffering its eighth defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Traore and Zakharyan are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Sociedad have won three of their last four matches
- Real Sociedad have scored in all six of their Europa League matches
- Real Sociedad have conceded in their last two matches
Estimated line-up: Remiro - Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd, Munoz - Mendes, Subimendi, Sucich - Kubo, Oyarzabal, Gomez.

1.35Tip and bets
Lazio has slowed down a bit lately, but the defeat of Verona in the last round of the championship showed that the Romans are capable of regaining their former form. Today, the eagles will certainly strive to take the maximum and turn the last round into a formality - Real Sociedad is frankly not impressive in the Europa League and is unlikely to remain clean in Rome. However, the white-blues will clearly take risks and strive to take all three points, in all six previous matches of the Europa League the Basques scored, they will probably score a goal today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Real Sociedad have earned six points in the last two rounds of the Europa League, but it will be problematic to build on their success today, as their opponents are the leader of the table, who have won five times in six rounds. Lazio also has problems in their game, the Romans do not have a serious advantage in class, they have almost solved their task, the white-blues can well fight for points - it is unlikely that they will be able to take all three points, but the Basques are quite capable of holding out and snatching one point, now every point is worth its weight in gold for them.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 3.30
Bet on corners
Lazio will clearly play first at home and will spend most of the match attacking, but Real Sociedad is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.99
