Lazio vs Rosenborg Betting Tips

Through two games of Group G Europa League action, Lazio and Dnipro are unbeaten with a win and a draw apiece, while Rosenborg and St Etienne each picked up a solitary draw, against one another, in their opening two games. The third round of games could determine whether this group ends up being a two-horse race.

Which Lazio will show up on Thursday? Will it be the team that is capable of completely dominating games, controlling possession, creating chances and frankly outclassing opponents. Or will it be the side that always seems to get stopped somehow, stopped when they should be better. In weekend Serie A action, it was the later of the two. They couldn’t break down Sassuolo, eventually losing 2-1.

That’ll give Norwegian side Rosenborg hope, even in the Italian capital. They’ll look to keep Lazio subdued and quiet, while hoping that eventually the defence gives them something, or they manage to steal a goal on the counter attack. It almost worked against Dnipro in their previous game, but the Ukrainians got the goal they needed.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Backing Lazio

It feels like a little bit of a leap of faith, but we’ll back Lazio to have one of their better games. When they play well, they play very well and they score a lot of goals. We’ll take the Asian Handicap option in that instance.

2. Home advantage

One factor that gives us extra confidence in Lazio is their performances at home. Most of their poor games in Serie A have come away from home and they seem to play better football when they have home field advantage.

3. Lack of Rosenborg scoring threat

We’re not convinced that Rosenborg will be able to compete on a scoring basis with Lazio, even though they score two in their 2-2 opening draw with St Etienne.
