Lazio vs Galatasaray: The Turks go undefeated at the end of the Europa League group stage

Lazio have already made the Europa League playoffs, but if they beat Galatasaray, they could claim 1st place in the group. Can Maurizio Sarri’s side manage to cope with the Turkish giants? Let’s select a few options for betting at once. 

The only question that remains to be decided in Group E of the Europa League, apart from the fight for third place and a place in the Conference League between Lokomotiv and Marseille, is the question regarding the winner of the group. The 1st placed team will play immediately in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, while the 2nd placed team will only advance to the last 32.

Lazio need to beat Galatasaray to take 1st place and miss out on the opening round of the playoffs. Maurizio Sarri’s team lost in Istanbul when goalkeeper Strakosha put the ball into his own goal. Lazio have also beaten Lokomotiv twice and drawn twice with Marseille.

Lazio played their previous game away. Maurizio Sarri's side beat Sampdoria 3-1 in the Italian championship.

Galatasaray have arrived in Rome with two draws in a row in the Turkish league. The opponents were not the strongest Yeni Malatyaspor and Altay. In the Turkish championship, Galatasaray sit in seventh place, 16 points behind first place. The team will have to forget about their championship ambitions this season.

The Europa League is a real respite for Galatasaray in domestic failures. Terim’s side sits in first place in their group and will surely do everything in their power not to lose it. Galatasaray have beaten Lazio, Lokomotiv and Marseille once each and have not allowed a single loss in 5 matches.

It will not be easy for Lazio to beat Galatasaray. Fatih Terim’s team is not performing at its best in the domestic arena, but they have not lost a single match in the group stage in the Europa League so far. The Turks will not give up their 6th game either.
