Lazio – Lokomotiv Moscow : Preview & Prediction
Lazio Rome must bounce back on this second day of the Europa League after its failure in Galatasaray (1-0) on the inaugural day. The Transalpines, dominating in Turkey, played bad luck and suffered a defeat following a goal against their camp by their goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha. The Roman club, since this European failure, has just obtained 2 draws against Cagliari (2-2) and on the lawn of Torino (1-1) then 1 important success in front of AS Rome (3-2) this week- end during the derby. Unbeaten for 3 meetings, Lazio Rome must defeat the Russian club to revive in its group. Lokomotiv Moscow can consider themselves happy against Olympique de Marseille (1-1) with a draw snatched at the very end of the match on an achievement by Anjorin (89th) despite a very clear domination of the French club (70% possession, 19 shots, 6 on target). The Muscovites continued with 2 other draws in the league in Ural (0-0) and Khimki (0-0) this weekend. Lokomotiv Moscow thus obtains a 4th draw in a row away from home and will have to pull out all the stops to hope to make a performance in Italy.
