St Etienne vs Lazio Betting Tips

Lazio and St Etienne have already qualified from Europa League Group G and there’s no more positioning or shifting that can be done either. Both teams are battling for consistent form in their domestic competitions, so look for this game to be taken relatively lightly.

Lazio’s dominance in Europa League action is in complete opposition to their poor football in Serie A. They did it again in the last round of games crushing last season’s finalists, Dnipro, 3-1 to end their hopes of qualifying for the next phase. They have another opponent that could be vulnerable with a young and inexperienced defensive group.

St Etienne can be very pleased that they are going to the knockout stages of this competition. They beat Dnipro 3-0 at home two games ago and then picked up a valuable away draw on their trip to Rosenborg.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Loose game

There’s nothing particular to play for, they’re both talented teams and we can see a loose, back and forth style of football game emerging out of that context.

2. Lazio will have a go

There’s no way that Lazio are playing this game passively, they’ve scored 12 goals in five games and they’ll look to keep that pace up. St Etienne are a team that can easily take advantage hitting the Italians on the counter attack.

3. Last time

The previous match-up was a real classic game ending 3-2 to Lazio, but involving plenty of drama including plenty of chances and near late comeback from St Etienne.
