Galatasaray – Lazio

Galatasaray and Lazio get their Europa League campaign underway when they face off at the Türk Telekom Arena on Thursday. The two sides, who have been drawn in Group E of the continental tournament, failed to pick up a win over the weekend and will be seeking to bounce back from their respective performances.

Galatasaray failed to return to winning ways last Sunday when they played out a 2-2 draw away to Trabzonspor. Meanwhile, Lazio’s blistering form came to a halt last time out as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Milan. Prior to that, Lazio were on a run of seven games without defeat, picking up five wins and two draws.

This is the third-ever meeting between the sides. Lazio head into the game as the superior side in their previous two meetings, claiming one win and one draw. We predict both sides will cancel out each other out and settle for a share of the spoils.
