Betting on Lazio
The last few weeks have been perfect for Lazio when it comes to their performance in the last few games. The Biancocelesti team from the city of Rome reached this stage after beating Romanian side CFR Cluj in the playoffs.
Maurizio Sarri’s team comes into this match with a boost of confidence as, last Friday, the team from the Italian capital won by the minimum difference against Napoli in Serie A to climb to second place in the standings. Now, with greater responsibilities at the international level, the eagles will be looking to build on their formidable moment.
Possible line-up (4-3-3): Ivan Provedel, Adam Marusic, Nicolò Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Manuel Lazzari; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Ciro Immobile.
Betting on AZ Alkmaar
AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, is in a similar situation to their opponents at the Olimpico in Rome on Tuesday. The Dutch team coached by Pascal Jansen reached this stage as the third-placed team in their national league.
At domestic level, the farmers are also the runner-up in their local championship. Curiously, in the Eredivisie, they won 1-0 away to Vitesse to also reach second place in the Dutch league standings. Another positive result away from home will be the goal in order to reach the second leg with a comfortable advantage.
Possible lineup (4-4-3): Mathew Ryan; Yukinari Sugawara, Pantelis Chatzidiakos, Wouter Goes, Milos Kerkez; Tijjani Reijnders, Djordje Mihailovic, Sven Mijnans; Jens Odgaard, Vengelis Pavlidis, Jesper Karlsson.
JefeBet Prediction
Lazio vs AZ Alkmaar will be a clash between 2 teams that are undergoing a fantastic performance in both local and European tournaments. However, streaks add up, and this is where the Italians come out on top. The Biancocelesti have not lost any of their last five matches and will be looking to make their home ground at the Olimpico di Roma their home ground.
On the other hand, the Dutch team’s goal-scoring statistics should not be overlooked. Alkmaar have scored at least one goal in each of their last 21 matches and will be looking to find the net in the Italian capital.
Prediction: Lazio win (LAZ 2-1 AZA)
