Lazio and Galatasaray get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa League Group Stage fixture.
These are full days for the home side, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie A. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sampdoria.
These teams have little in common geographically as Galatasaray have to travel 2200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Lazio form and stats
Lazio participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Bayern München.Lazio are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Stadio Olimpico. 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 8 games. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Lazio has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
Happy days for Lazio in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Sampdoria that ended with a 3-1 victory. The attacker Mattia Zaccagni was announced as "man of the match" for Lazio with the rating of 8.53/10. Zaccagni signed up for two assists, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times and had 34 successful passes (of 39 total).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Udinese that ended 4-4.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Lazio matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and two defeats (from six games).

Galatasaray form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the play-offs.The story so far for the visiting team on their Super Lig travels is 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 5W-4D-0L. This is both home and away. Two points from the last two away games for Galatasaray, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Galatasaray delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Altay in their previous match; a Super Lig game. The draw against Altay came from a losing position. The Galatasaray manager F. Terim brought on Mbaye Diagne as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Patrick van Aanholt, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.14. Aanholt served one assist, hit seven key passes and won 6 of 10 duels.
Before that, Galatasaray travelled to Yeni Malatyaspor and returned home with a draw after the Super Lig game finished 0-0.The schedule is very tough for Galatasaray now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super Lig game at Sivasspor is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Galatasaray have scored 11 goals in 8 league games away. Galatasaray's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
