Sturm Graz-Lazio is a match in the Europa League group stage on matchday 3 at 18:45: statistics, prediction, forecasts, live TV and streaming.
Lazio’s last Europa League game was their worst of the entire season. The 5-1 defeat in Denmark against Midtjylland did not leave a lasting impression, however, with Maurizio Sarri’s side able to fight back in the league, winning their next two matches by scoring eight goals without conceding any. And given that Lazio had also scored four goals in their Europa League opener, the statistics show that Sarri’s men have scored four times in the last five
on three occasions.
Enormous offensive numbers for the Sarri-coached team, who play pleasant, offensive and harmonious football. Highly deployed zone defence and precise ideas in the manoeuvre phase. Such a game inevitably leads to greater defensive risks when individuals have bad days, but on the other hand, in the last three league matches Lazio have always kept their goal unbroken.
Sturm Graz, like Lazio, also reacted to a heavy beating they suffered in the Europa League: the 6-0 loss to Feyenoord was overcome by securing two important consecutive league victories. And it should not be forgotten that the Austrian team had beaten Midtjylland on their debut. Lazio’s greater technical quality is beyond question, as is their tactical organisation, which should make the difference. Sarri’s team, after the Danish drubbing, cannot afford any more missteps and victory is a must.
The Prediction
Lazio are favourites to win in a game of at least three goals overall
