For the upcoming matchday against Real Sociedad, Lazio could not only secure their lead in the table, but also pave their way to the top of the list of favorites. Lazio have won five of their six Europa League games this season and are aiming to win more games in a single major European campaign. As a result, they are slightly favored by the bookies over the Basques on Thursday. The hosts are currently in great form after beating Verona 3-0 to secure a place in the top four of Serie A. Internationally, things are going even better as The Eagles are at the top of the Europa League table with an almost flawless record recording 5 wins and one draw. To get back in top 8 a draw would not be enough for the guests so we can see agressive play from Real Sociedad at Olimpico. Real Sociedad have won eight of their last 14 Europa League games. The Basques will enter in this game after unexpected 0-1 loss against Valencia in LaLiga and it is possible to see a strong response to this result.
