Lazio Salzburg match preview

This is probably the least attractive quarter-final match of the Europa League as Lazio Rome is seen as an absolute favourite to win Austrian Salzburg. However, multiple champions of Austria have already eliminated from this competition two very good teams, Real Sociedad and Borussia Dortmund. Nine years ago Salzburg won Lazio both times in the group phase of the Europa League.

Lazio Rome

That should be just an additional motive for Lazio players to revenge with elimination in the quarter-final of the Europa League, where they come after defeating in two previous rounds Romanian FCSB and Dynamo Kyiv. True, Lazio lost match in Bucharest by 1-0 but it triumphed in the 2nd leg played at the Olimpico stadium by even 5-1, while against the team from Ukraine it firstly drew at home 2-2, and then won in Kyiv 2-0.

After two consecutive draws in the Italian Serie A Lazio won last weekend at home Benevento by sound 6-2, and at the moment it occupies the fifth place in the table and has just one point fewer than 4th-placed Inter and three than 3rd-positioned Roma. It means that Lazio is still in the race for the Champions League, although at the moment it is fully focused on this quarter-final match of the Europa League, which should skip due to injures defenders Radu and Lukaku, and midfielder Lulic.

Probable lineups Lazio Rome: Strakosha – Wallace, de Vrij, Felipe – Marusic, Parolo, Leiva, Patric – Luis Alberto, Milinkovic-Savic – Immobile

Red Bull Salzburg

Unlike the team from Rome which has a lot to do in the finish of Serie A, multiple champion of Austria Salzburg is on verge to win new title in Austrian championship as at the moment it has even eight points more than 2nd-placed Sturm. Besides, we need to say that Salzburg suffered just one defeat this season, which happened in August last year when they played away with Rapid Vienna, while it never lost in European competitions.

In qualifications for the Champions League Salzburg won two and drew two matches, which cost them a place in that competition, while in the Europa League out of 12 matches it won even seven and drew five. We need to add that in the knockout phase Salzburg eliminated two great favourites, Real Sociedad and Borussia Dortmund. Manager Rose has fewer problems with injuries at the moment as he cannot count only on suspended forward Hwang for Thursday’s match.

Probable lineups Red Bull Salzburg: Walke – Lainer, Ramalho, Caleta-Car, Ulmer – Haidara, Schlager, Samassekou, Berisha – Gulbrandsen, Dabbur

Verdict:

Regardless of very good results that Salzburg made this season, both in the national championship and European competitions, we have decided to play in this quarter-final match of the Europa League on Lazio’s victory as the team from Rome has far better players than reigning champion of Austria.
