Lazio

LWDLDW ⚖

Lazio will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-3 Serie A success against Hellas Verona.

In that game, Lazio managed 65% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Lazio, the scorers were Samuel Gigot (2'), Boulaye Dia (21') and Mattia Zaccagni (58'). On the other side, Hellas Verona got 16 attempts at goal with 3 on target.

It has been seldom in recent times where Lazio have shown defensive steel. In fact, Lazio have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 11 goals in the process.

Real Sociedad

DLWWWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Valencia in La Liga action, Real Sociedad and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Real Sociedad had 66% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Valencia got 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Hugo Duro (26') scored for Valencia.

A series of steadfast showings from the Real Sociedad defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. During the same time, their forwards have scored 9. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.

📰 Team News: Lazio

Manuel Lazzari (Knee injury), Patric (Ankle injury) and Matías Vecino (Thigh problems) aren’t available for Lazio gaffer Marco Baroni.

It seems likely that i Biancocelesti could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Christos Mandas, Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi, Nicolo Rovella, Gustav Isaksen, Boulaye Dia, Mattia Zaccagni and Valentin Castellanos.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil to contend with. Hamari Traoré (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Txuri-urdin could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Nayef Aguerd, Aihen Munoz, Takefusa Kubo, Martin Zubimendi, Brais Mendez, Mikel Oyarzabal, Luka Sucic and Sheraldo Becker.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Real Sociedad have the ability to put one past this Lazio team, however that might not be enough to avoid a loss.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Lazio at full-time. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
