There Lazio returns to the field for the second day of the Europa League, where they will face the Nice at the Olympic Stadium in Rome at 6.45pm. The Biancocelesti’s objective is to continue the success achieved on their debut against Dinamo Kiev and confirm their excellent form, also demonstrated by the recent championship victory against Torino. Lazio and Nice have only met twice in their history, both in the group stage of the 2017/18 Europa League. On both occasions, Lazio won: 1-0 at the Olimpico and 1-3 in France. The Biancocelesti hope to repeat the positive performances of the past and win the three points. The race direction was entrusted to the Romanian Horațiu Feșnic.
HOW LAZIO ARRIVES – Marco Baroni’s team goes into the match with high morale, thanks to the positive results obtained in the latest outings. The victory against Dinamo Kiev launched Lazio into the Europa League, while the success against Torino consolidated their position in the championship. For the match against Nice, Baroni could opt for some turnover, giving space to players less used so far, such as Pedro and Tchaouna. In attack, Dia seems destined for confirmation, while Castellanos could start from the bench.
HOW NICE ARRIVES – Nice, led by Franck Haise, comes to the match against Lazio with the aim of making up for the defeat suffered on the first day of the Europa League. The French team, fresh from a mixed start to the season, will try to impose their game to win precious points away from home. The match against Lazio represents an important test to evaluate Nice’s ambitions in this competition. We are moving towards 4-3-3 with Bouanani, Moukoko and Guessand up front.
