Lazio have picked up a total of 16 out of 18 points so far
Lazio have conceded only three in six games
Only Atletico Madrid have conceded less goals than Sociedad in La Liga this season
Goals should come at a premium
Current league leaders Lazio face Spanish side Real Sociedad in what looks set to be a low-scoring affair. Both teams have strong defenses that rarely concede. Lazio have only let in three goals in their six Europa League games, while Real Sociedad’s defense has conceded the second-fewest goals in La Liga, allowing just 14 goals in 20 matches. With both teams favoring possession-based football, we can expect a very tight game, where one goal could be enough to decide the outcome. Backing under 2.5 goals seems a solid choice.
If any team is going to come away with all three points, it’s likely to be the Italian side. Lazio remain unbeaten in the competition, having picked up 16 points out of a possible 18. They have a slightly stronger team on paper and, with home advantage, are more likely to take the initiative. A 1-0 Lazio win looks like a strong possibility.
