Lazio vs Marseille Prediction & Analysis

Lazio had recorded a 2-0 win at home the last match-day in the competition, against Lokomotiv Moscow. They are also in great form lately, and had won 3-1 at home against reigning Italian champions Inter the past game week.

Meanwhile, Marseille were held to a goalless draw at home the last match-day, by Galatasaray.

One glaring difference between Lazio are Marseille is, the impressive form of the Italians at home, and the struggles of the Ligue 1 team on the road.

The Italians had won 17 of their previous 20 appearances at home, which stretches back to December of 2020, and only one of these fixtures had ended in a loss. And note that they have been scoring heavily all through this stretch.

Meanwhile, the French team has a single win in their past five games, and they have seldom won on the road in the past year.

On top of that, they also have a poor h2h record against the Serie A club over the years.

By the looks of things, expect a win for Lazio.
