International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Lazio and Club Brugge are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's no vacation for neither Lazio nor Club Brugge as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Club Brugge have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Lazio form and stats
Lazio participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the group stage.The story so far in the Serie A for Lazio at their home stadium (Stadio Olimpico) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Lazio has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Borussia Dortmund that finished 1-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lazio's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Hellas Verona in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. Lazio have conceded 10 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Club Brugge form and stats
Club Brugge's mission in Champions League last season failed in the group stage.Club Brugge's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Club Brugge collect 14 points from their 7 away matches in the Pro League. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses both home and away.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Club Brugge goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is eager to challenge this, with his 322 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Zenit.
David Okereke came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Sint-Truiden last time out, making the manager P. Clement feel like a tactical genius.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Club Brugge are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Brugge as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
