Lazio hosts Lokomotiv Moscow in round 2 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, September 30th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Lazio started its way in the UEL group stage with an away defeat to Turkish Galatasaray (1-0). The Romans are ranked last in Group E without a single point scored. Lazio did not gain any victories after the break in the Italian championship. Taking into account the match in the UEL, the losing streak of the Eagles in all tournaments lasted four games (two draws and two defeats). In Serie A, Sarri's players lost to Milan (0-2) and tied against Cagliari (2-2) and Torino (1-1). Lazio was able to interrupt the streak without victories on September 26 in a home game against AS Roma in the Roman derby (3-2). Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, Pedro, and Felipe Anderson scored goals for the Eagles. The home success raised them to 6th place in the Serie A standings (eleven points).

In the opening match of the UEL group stage, Lokomotiv Moscow shared points with Marseille at the RZD Arena (1-1). Muscovites occupy the 3rd position in the group standings with one point scored. After the match against the Olympians, Lokomotiv Moscow continued to gain draws in the Russian championship. On September 20, the Steam Locomotives shared points with Ural Yekaterinburg (0-0), and on September 25 they repeated this result in the away match against Khimki (0-0).
Lokomotiv has few chances to earn points in Rome. The Railwaymen are approaching the difficult visit to Italy not in the best condition. Loko lost points in two consecutive matches against the outsiders of the RPL, and personnel problems in defense only complicate the task for Nikolic's coaching staff. In addition, the home team's motivation will play against the Steam Locomotives. The Eagles, who are in high spirits after the derby, must make amends in front of their fans for an offensive defeat to Galatasaray. However, Muscovites are capable of scoring on a foreign pitch. Lazio is the 3rd team in Serie A in terms of scoring (2.5 goals per game), so the Romans are unlikely to be left without a goal in the upcoming match. Nevertheless, Sarri's team has problems in defense. Lazio conceded at least one goal in all seven games in the 2021/22 season. Therefore, we should wait for an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
