Lazio vs Vitesse Predictions, 23 Nov 2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
1-1
Lazio v Vitesse Predictions for Thursday's 6.00pm kick-off Europa League group fixture facing Lazio and a Vitesse side at Stadio Olimpico. Lazio will look to extend their unbeaten run in the Europa League (EL) when they take on a winless Vitesse in this Group K encounter.
Anything less than a win will be curtains for bottom-placed Vitesse (1 pts, D1 L3). Even if they win, their chances of qualification hinge on the other match between Nice and Zulte Waregem being a draw.
Both sides met on matchday 1 when Lazio won 3-2 in a thrilling encounter, which was also the first-ever meeting between the clubs in the EL. Vitesse led twice but the visitors clawed themselves back into the game to eventually go on to claim full points.
Lazio are undefeated in 26 EL group games (W16, D10) and have now qualified for the knockout phase in each of their last 5 participations. Vitesse are featuring for the 1st time in the EL after winning the Dutch Cup last season, their maiden trophy.
Vitesse’s form in European matches is very poor as the Dutch club have not won in 10 matches (D2, L8). They are also without a win in 8 away European games (D4, L4), with their last win coming all the way back in 2002.
The hosts arrive on the back of a disappointing 2-1 loss in the Rome derby to arch rivals AS Roma that snapped their 9-match winning streak. This season, they have lost only 2 matches out of 17 (W 14 D1) across all competitions and have failed to score only once.
