Lazio take on the visitors Midtjylland in the round 5 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 27th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio not so long ago, under Simone Inzaghi, was able to become one of the leaders of Italian football. But this did not last long, moreover, the new mentor, Maurizio Sarri, achieved more last season than in the previous draw under the former mentor. Even now, it seems that the "Smoker" and his wards think more about Calcio, where there is now a chance to rise even higher, to the top 4 - that is, to return to the Champions League. Italians traditionally lack motivation for the Europa League. Still, at home, with Feyenoord, they managed to win 4-2. But then the "eagles" got a furious 1-5 in Denmark. It didn’t really work to rehabilitate itself in the doubles confrontation with the modest Sturm. At first, in Graz, there was only a goalless draw. And then, in their own field, the Blue-and-Whites, coming forward twice, allowed Beving to answer with his ball, including in the 83rd minute. In the end it all ended 2-2. And now, in fact, everything needs to be started all over again - all four teams now have equal points, 5 each. And the one who has better run in the last couple of matches will go further.

Midtjylland is a fairly new name in Danish football, having been founded in 1999. But at the same time, in 2015-2020, it was possible to take the champion title three times. And in the last draw, another 2nd place in the Super League was taken. Even it was enough for the next start in the Champions League qualification. But, with difficulty passing AEK (Larnaca) (twice 1-1 and victory on penalties), the Wolves lost to Benfica without a chance. The Europa League began with another misfire, in the form of 0-1 in Austria with Sturm. But after that, the Danes managed not only to beat the Italians at home, but also with a score of 5-1. And with Feyenoord, both matches brought spectacular draws. Moreover, in both matches the Dutch were leading in the score, but in the end it turned out to draw the final 2-2. As a result, it turned out to completely confuse the situation in the quartet.
Lazio play quite regularly in European competition, as did Midtjylland over the past decade. So it's no surprise that September's game was the first of all time between these teams. Bookmakers believe that the hosts have a good chance of winning. Yes, they are not very interested in the Europa League, but still the match will be at home, and the fans are eager for revenge for 1-5 - we bet on Lazio.
