Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi Turk Telekom Stadium in Istanbul will serve as the host for the Europa League match between Galatasaray and Lazio on 16th September 2021 at 22:15 IST. Despite playing at home, Galatasaray are the underdogs going into this opening game week clash.

Teams Status

Galatasaray

Galatasaray are coming into the European Cups after a year of absence after finishing in the second position of the Turkish Super League last season. They were denied the championship by a goal difference of just one goal. They are currently in the sixth position of the league with seven points from three matches. They are averaging two goals per match and have conceded at an average of a goal per match. Alexandru Cicaldau is the team’s leading goal scorer with two goals to his name. They have a list of 5 players that could miss the Europa League clash against Lazio, they are Baris Yilmaz, Gustavo Assuncao, Sofiane Feghouli, Arda Turan and Omar Elabdellaoui.

Lazio

Lazio on the other hand are coming into this contest with an unbeaten streak of seven matches under their belt. They started off their Serie A campaign with two perfect wins over Empoli and Spezia. Their Champions League journey did not last long as they were knocked out of the round of 16 by Bayern Munich. In Serie A, they are averaging 4.5 goals per match and have conceded just 2 goals in the first 2 matches. The Italian sniper Ciro Immobile is the team’s leading goal scorer with 4 goals in Serie A. For Lazio, they have just three players on that injury list with Manuel Lazzari, Danilo Cataldi and Bobby Adekanye. That means that Immobile is likely to feature in the match against Galatasaray.

Tipster’s Angle

Similar to the last head to head match, this is also expected to be a high scoring thriller and could see goals at both ends of the pitch. This rivalry is pretty new as they have played just two matches against each other. And the form suggests that Lazio could come out on top.

Tip: Lazio To Win @ 2.10

In the last 2 head to head matches, Galatasaray hasn’t won a single match, while Lazio has won 1 match and 1 of those matches ended in a draw. In the last 9 matches that Galatasaray has played across competitions, they have won 4 matches, drawn 3 matches and lost 2 matches. Galatasaray have won 2 matches, drawn 1 match and lost 1 match in the last 4 matches that they have played on home turf. Lazio have won 5 matches, drawn 3 matches and lost 2 matches in the last 10 matches that they have played across competitions. In the last 2 matches that Lazio has played away from home, they have won both the matches. So it is likely that Lazio will take all three points from Istanbul at 2.10 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.66

Both teams managed to find the back of the net on both occasions in the last 2 head to head matches. Also, the last head to head match played in Istanbul had both teams scoring in them. Galatasaray have managed to score at least a goal in all of the last 9 matches that they have played across competitions and 8 of those matches had both teams scoring in them as well. Lazio on the other hand have scored in 7 of the last 9 matches that they have played in all competitions. Apart from that, they have seen both teams scoring in 5 of those matches. So, it is very likely that both teams will find the back of the net at 1.66 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

This is one of the toughest groups in the Europa League which includes Lazio, Galatasaray, Marseille and Lokomotiv Moscow. And Lazio are looking like a strong contender to top the table. But on any given day, any team can defeat any opponent.
