Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips
Match day five in Group K brings us a clash between group leaders Lazio and bottom club Vitesse, when the two teams meet at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with the hosts no doubt looking to extend their 100% winning sequence to five matches.
With four straight wins under their belt, Lazio sit top of Group K with 12 points thanks to wins over Vitesse and Nice (away from home) and Zulte-Waregem and Nice (at home), scoring 9 goals for and conceding just 3 in reply.
In addition, Lazio have recorded six wins from their last seven matches on home turf in the Europa League which includes wins over clubs such as Saint-Etienne, Galatasaray and Nice, and striker Immobile (15 goals) is in red-hot goal scoring form.
Visitors Vitesse sit bottom of Group K with just one point to their name after what has been a disastrous Europa League campaign to date following defeats to Lazio at home, along with losses to Nice and Zulte-Waregem.
A 1-1 draw away at the aforementioned Zulte-Waregem on match day three has been their only return from their first four matches in the group phase, and indeed, Vitesse are without a win from their last ten matches in this competition overall.
With just one away win from their last 11 on their travels suggests that Vitesse are likely to struggle against Lazio here this evening, particularly as they’ve failed to score in five of these 11 matches, and they’ll likely need to score at least once here in order to keep up with the hosts.
Pick: Lazio to win @ 1.53 bet365
