[Europa League] Lazio Vs Sturm Graz Preview

Lazio will be hoping for the perfect three points when they host Sturm Graz in their Group F fourth game at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday night (13/10). Maurizio Sarri's side has yet to impress in European competition this season.

In last week's Europa League group stage third game, Lazio and Sturm Graz failed to win in Austria. The hosts were better at home, frustrated with the Aquile's solid defense, but the result wasn't enough for Maurizio Sarri's side to advance to the last 16.

The Aquile, meanwhile, snapped their third consecutive win with a 4-0 Serie A win earlier this week, while Sturm Graz beat WSG Tirol 2-1 in their last tough away game.

While the four teams in Europa League Group F have four points each, a victory over the Austrian representative will be crucial if the Biancoceleste want to continue fighting to advance to the last 16.

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Milinkovic, Cataldi, Basic; Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Pedro

Prediction: Lazio - Sturm Graz = 2 - 0
