Command Analysis

Lazio

Current form
Lazio took first place in the main stage and immediately started the playoffs from the 1/8 finals. In the Czech Republic, the game turned out to be very tense and nervous. The Romans opened the scoring in the first half, after which Victoria won back in the second 45 minutes. At the end of the game, Lazio had two clearances at once, but the five of them managed to score the winning goal in the eighth minute. After such a dramatic battle, Marco Baroni's men had a match with Udinese in Serie A, where they parted in peace (1:1). In the national championship, the Eagles are in fifth place after 28 rounds and continue to fight for a place in the Champions League zone – they are only one point behind fourth-placed Juventus.

Gigot and Rovella will serve their suspension. Hisai and Castellanos will not play due to injuries. The exit to the Tavares field is questionable.

Viktoria Plzen

Current form
Victoria qualified for the Europa League playoffs only from 16th place. In the first stage, the Czech team overcame Ferencvaros' resistance largely due to a 3-0 home victory, while there was a 0 defeat on the road.:1. Lazio also had a chance of at least a draw on their own field, but they managed to concede a goal in the end from an opponent who played with nine. Obviously, it will be very difficult to win in Rome, but the difference in class is very noticeable. After losing to the Eagles in LE, Miroslav Koubek's team did not play well in the national championship – a zero draw with Pardubice. As a result, after 25 rounds in the national championship Victoria takes the third place.

The first game in the Czech Republic demonstrated a significant difference in class between the rivals. Even the nine Eagles managed to score the winning goal. Obviously, it won't be easy for Victoria in Rome, especially considering that the Czechs have little guest meetings throughout the tournament. We expect that due to their advantage in class and the home field factor, the Romans will achieve a convincing victory today and confidently advance to the quarterfinals.
Our betting tip is that Lazio will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) for a coefficient of 2.08
Bet on the total
In the first game, the opponents scored three goals, it is unlikely that we should expect fewer today. The guests need to fight back, they are unlikely to sit defensively the whole game. Lazio will habitually play from a position of strength on their own field and will not be left without their goals.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.77
Betting on corners
It should be noted that in 12 of the last 13 away matches in the Europa League, Victoria did not serve more than four corners. It is unlikely that the Romans will allow the Czechs to visit their penalty area too often today.
The betting tip is that Victoria's total corners are less than 4.5 with a coefficient of 1.51
