Lazio Preview – Can Lazio make most of home tie?
Lazio will return to their Stadio Olimpico ground for this upcoming Matchday 2 tie in the Europa League against Russian outfit, Lokomotiv Moscow, with the hosts no doubt keen to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat away at Galatasaray in their Group E opener.
Since that loss, Lazio have picked up points in back-to-back draws in Serie A with Cagliari and Torino before recording a local derby 3-2 win over Roma on the weekend, so confidence will have been restored ready for Thursday night.
However, Lazio will need to improve upon recent results in the Europa League as the hosts have managed to win just two of their last 11 ties overall, but they have lost just three of their last 13 ties at home.
Lokomotiv Moscow Preview – Can Russians produce stubborn display?
Lokomotiv Moscow gained a useful point on matchday 1 courtesy of a 1-1 draw at home with Marseille which got the Russian side off the mark but they now face a tricky opponent in the shape of Lazio in their own backyard on Thursday night.
Lokomotiv are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions which will give the visitors a boost ahead of this Matchday 2 clash in Italy, but the visitors have lost two of their last three ties overall in the Europa League.
The Russian visitors embark upon unchartered territory here as they’ve never faced an Italian club in the Europa League before.
