Lazio hosts Marseille in round 3 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 21st at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Lazio is in 2nd place in the standings (three points after two matches). The Eagles lost to Turkish Galatasaray away (1-0) and did not experience any problems in the home match against Lokomotiv Moscow (2-0). The Romans were unstable in their last games in the Italian championship. They alternated between successful and failed matches. After a spectacular victory over AC Roma in the Roman derby (3-2), Lazio was hammered in the away match against Bologna (3-0). The Eagles made amends for that misfire on October 16, when they achieved a home victory over Inter (3-1). Having conceded an early goal from the penalty spot, Lazio could not breach the Milanese defense for a long time. The turning point in the game happened in the last half an hour of the 2nd half, when Ciro Immobile converted a penalty kick, and Felipe Anderson and Sergei Milinkovic-Savic scored one goal each.

Marseille is in 3rd place in Group E (two points after two rounds). The Olympians tied against Lokomotiv in Moscow (1-1) and shared points with Galatasaray at home (0-0). In the last month, Marseille did not show positive results in the French championship and European competitions. The Blue-Whites did not achieve victories in four matches in a row (two draws and two defeats), and three times Sampaoli’s men did without goals scored. On October 17, they confidently beat Lorient (4-1). Having conceded a goal in the 13th minute from the penalty spot, Marseille responded with four goals and gained a character win. Boubacar Kamara, Matteo Guendouzi, and Arkadiusz Milik scored for the Olympians, and the defender Ubulan Mendes sent another goal into his own net.
The Romans' chances of winning look good. Lazio is strong at home this season. If we look at five games in Serie A and the UEL, only Cagliari escaped defeat in Rome (2-2). Marseille has not the best statistics of the last away matches (two draws and one loss), so it will be difficult for the Olympians to resist Sarri's team. In addition, the calendar is playing against Marseille. On October 24, the Blue-Whites will host Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Before the match against this bitter rival, Sampaoli's coaching staff will want to save the leaders.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win
