Lazio take on the visitors Real Sociedad in the round 7 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, January 23rd at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio seriously lost ground last season. Not as sharply as Napoli — the Scudetto winner ended up in the middle of the table. But still, the vice-champion, having fired Sarri, ended up only 7th. Thus, the new coach, Baroni, had to play only in the Europa League. And, frankly speaking, the Roman club is more absorbed in the fight in their native Calcio, for a place in the top 4 and partially in the cup — by the way, not without success. But in the European Cup, the class of the reserves was enough to give an excellent result in 2024. Only Ludogorets did not score at home and, accordingly, did not win. Apart from those 0-0, there were only victories — over Dynamo Kyiv, Nice, Twente, Porto and Ajax.

Real Sociedad gained momentum during the season. The Txuri-Urdinak won the Spanish Cup under Alguacil, and in 2023 they finally succeeded in the long struggle for 4th place in the Primera and, accordingly, received the right to play in the Champions League. There they even managed to win the group, but still suffered losses in the playoffs. And in the domestic arena they rolled back to 6th place. In the new Temporada there was a rather difficult start, but gradually the club from San Sebastian improved. Including in the Europa League. There they won only once in the first 4 rounds, against Maccabi (Tel Aviv), with a draw with Nice and losses to Anderlecht and Viktoria (Plzen). But with victories over Ajax and Dynamo Kyiv they managed to find themselves with one foot in the playoffs.
The sides have met only once, in 2011, and that was in a friendly format. There, the "eagles" secured a confident victory - a "grandmaster" 2-0. The Roman club plays at home, and this is an important factor for both. We bet on them with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with 0.0 handicap.
