Lazio will look to remain the lone intact team when they take on Ludogorets Razgrad in the Italian capital as part of round five of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Lazio vs Ludogorets Razgrad Betting Tips: UNDER 3.5
After exactly one decade, the two teams will renew their rivalry in UEFA’s second-tier competition, with the Italian side entering with a strong desire for revenge after being painfully knocked out by the Bulgarian giants in the knockout phase in 2014, losing 4-3 on aggregate.
Since stumbling to a narrow 0-1 defeat at the hands of Juventus on October 19, Lazio have responded with an incredible run, winning all of their seven subsequent competitive fixtures, with their latest victim being Bologna, whom they routed 3-0 at the weekend to remain one point away from the leader Napoli.
At their Olimpico home, Biancocelesti have been almost infallible this season, with the thrilling four-goal draw against AC Milan earlier in the campaign being the only blemish on their otherwise dazzling record in Rome, where they will aim for their eight straight home win in the midweek battle.
Not to be outdone, Marco Baroni's high-flying side are excelling on the continental stage as they sit proudly at thetop of the 36-team UEFA Europa League league phase, thanks to being the only team to complete all four tasks in style with a combined 11-2 score.
In sharp contrast, Ludogorets' opening European displays have been anything but good, as their paltry one-point collection from four games has dropped them near the bottom of the standings, just above the struggling pair of Sherrif Tiraspol and Dynamo Kyiv, who are still searching for their first points.
Aware that they’re on the brink of an early exit from the competition, the Razgrad giants have exhausted all their chances for slip-ups and will need to be flawless in their remaining four games, starting this week, though their record on the road in Europe doesn’t bode well, having won only two out of 24 such encounters.
While still searching for their first victory, the Green Eagles at least ended their goal drought in this tournament, though their opening goal against Athletic Bilbao on matchday four wasn’t enough, as they ultimately found themselves 1-2 down by the final whistle. Against Lazio’s well-structured defense, we believe Ludogorets will extend their scoreless run on the road to three matches, while we back the hyped Serie A side to cruise to victory in what promises to be a rather unexciting affair.

Lazio team news
With a tense set of fixtures ahead in the coming weeks, it wouldn't be surprising if coach Marco Baroni makes several changes to the starting lineup for Thursday’s clash against winless Bulgarian rivals.
Former Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has returned to Rome with an injury sustained during international duty with Portugal, meaning he won't be risked for this match, and veteran Pedro is also doubtful due to a stomach bug.
