Nice vs Lazio Prediction & Betting tips
Already after the first two games of the group K two teams emerged for the ascent to the next round. Both OGC Nice and Lazio Rom were able to win both matches and have already a comfortable lead over the punktelosen Vitesse Arnheim and Zulte Waregem. Both teams could be in a good shape with a win for the next round and would have an excellent starting position for the group win. Which team is in the top game of this group? At 6 pm, the match will be played by Scottish referee Craig Thomson in the Alliance Riviera.
Nice :
Lucien Favre was able to confirm the good placement of his coach Claude Puel last season and even improve by a place. At the end of last season, the third place behind the big caliber AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain could be reached and for the first time the club’s history gained the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League (exclusive predecessor Europapokal der Landesmeister). In the qualifying, however, Nice broke with the Italians SSC Napoli with two 0-2 defeats in the playoff and thus slipped into the Europa League. In this the South Franconians presented themselves in excellent form and were able to win both games. A 5-1 away win was followed by a 3-0 home win against Vitesse Arnheim.
In the league this season is not as smooth as in the two years before. After nine games, Nice scored only 14th place with ten points and was only able to win a triple three times. A positive outbreak in the match against AS Monaco, when the reigning champion was surprisingly high 4: 0 off the field. This was also the game in which the Enfant Terrible Mario Balotelli really took off this season. After a two-pack against Monaco, he also scored in the three following matches, before the series ended in the last Ligaspiel. With their 2-0 defeat in Montpellier, Nice are now three games without a win and are threatening to lose their European start-ups. Left-back Christophe Jallet said after the last game: “We played well in the first half and had some chances to go in the lead. We might have encouraged them, too, because technically something was missing when we came back from the break. ”
Lazio:
For almost 14 years the Laziali had to wait for this moment. After 25 matches against Juventus, Lazio was able to celebrate a victory over the old lady last weekend. Juventus took the lead 23 minutes into the game, but the visitors’ defense were able to clear the ball with his fingertips as he was substituted for Gonzalo Higuain, the lower edge of the latte rebounded into the field. In the second half, however, the game turned completely, and Lazio was able to equalize shortly after the restart after a beautifully executed action by a goal from Ciro Immobile. A short time later, the goalkeeper pulled out a disputed penalty and turned it into a 2: 1 lead in the 54th minute. In the final phase, Lazio had to shake once again for Juve’s long-awaited success, when Paulo Dybala only met the post in injury time. In the last minute it became even more curious. After the referee decided to continue the game after a disputed penalty, he took the video and changed his decision and gave the penalty. Goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, however, became the hero of the Romans and held the penalty of Paulo Dybala.
In the table, the capital cities now have 19 points and a score of 6-1-1 in fourth place, just behind Juventus. Coach Simone Inzaghi can rely mainly on his goalkeeper. Ciro Immobile leads the scorer list of the Serie A with eleven goals and is in dazzling form. Also in the Europa League, the 27-year-old striker was successful in both matches and helped his team win against Vitesse (3: 2) and Zulte Waregem (2-0). The Romans were the only ones to defeat the makellose Napoli on the fifth day.
