Apollon Limassol vs Lazio Predictions

Lazio have already wrapped up qualification in the Europa League, but can they kick on and claim another three points? They have won three of their four group matches this term, and they are aiming to secure another win after struggling against AC Milan at the weekend. The visitors grabbed a late equaliser to avoid a defeat at a rain-sodden Stadio Olimpico at the weekend, so the pressure is on them now to kick on and secure another three points as they look to keep up their push for a Champions League spot.

Apollon are set to switch their focus back to domestic affairs, after claiming just one point in their first four matches. They lead the way in the league, so they do have something else to focus on this term. However, can they restore some pride in their final two European matches of the season? They managed a point against a struggling Marseille outfit, but will the Cypriots be able to secure three points when they face a Lazio side who have already found their way out of this group?

The visitors may have qualified, but they have a chance to secure top spot with another two wins. They finish up at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, so they’ll be pushing for more success in Europe. They have rotated throughout their group matches in this competition in recent years, so major changes here after making the next round shouldn’t hit them too much. They’ll expect to keep up their form after qualifying, as they look to get back to winning ways. After back to back league draws, a win here would be a good way to kick on in the fight for fourth in Italy.

The hosts were beaten 3-2 at home by Frankfurt in their last game, so we should get an entertaining affair in this game. Apollon have already conceded over two goals per game since the group stage started, and they head into this one against a Lazio side who are favourites to come away from Cyprus with the points. However, will the Aquile rack up the goals in this trip?

Apollon have conceded at least twice in each of their Europa League games so far, and they shipped two in four of their last five group games last season too. Meanwhile, Lazio have scored at least twice in seven of their last nine in this competition, a run which has brought them 22 goals . We see them hitting at least two goals here, something they’ve done in back to back meetings with Apollon, so over 1.5 Lazio goals is our tip in this clash.
