Lazio - Tottenham

12/08/13
Lazio - Tottenham

Lazio coach - Vladimir Petkovic will be able to rely on all his players for this game as there are no injured or suspended ones. For Tottenham Ekotto, Parker and Kaboul are going to miss this match and Mousa Dembélé and Steven Caulker are questionable. Victory for the hosts would assure them going ahead in the next round of the Europa League. The same goes for the Spurs, but only if Maribor does not win their game against Panathinaikos.

Both teams are unbeaten so far in the group and have five draws in the matches against each other. In the Europa League, Lazio are unbeaten in their last 6 games and Tottenham in the last 5. Obviously, Villas-Boas can not motivate his players enough for the Europa League matches and although they are unbeaten so far, they do not perform as they do in the Premier League. Three draws and a win is the total of the tournament for Tottenham. However, Villas-Boas keeps sustaining his position that Tottenahm will try to do their best to win the trophy.

Loss for the Spurs in this game, combined with victory for Maribor will most likely put them out of the tournament. In this situation, Lazio will have secured the first place and it is not so likely that the Italians will make great efforts in the visiting match against Maribor the next round. Lazio is too strong in their home games and the task for Tottenham is undoubtedly very difficult. In their last eight home games, Lazio have 6 wins, a draw and a loss.

The prediction calculated by the forebet algorithm is for a draw with a probability of 41%. In their last home game, the team of Lazio will definitely try to guarantee the first place in the group, but the team of Tottenham, in turn, will try not to lose this visit at least as this might cost them qualifying for the next round.
