Lazio

Lazio started their Europa League campaign where they had to face the Macedonian Rabotnicki. A victory with 6:0 in the first leg pretty much qualified the team in the group stage, but the Italian won the second game anyways with the score of 3:1. The team will face a Romanian opponent for a second time in their history, having met Dinamo Bucureşti in 2007/08, drawing the first match in Rome 1:1 but winning the away fixture with 3:1. After the 2:2 against Real Madrid at home, Lazio has been alternating victories and defeats. Knowing that the last home gave was a victory, this is supposed to be a loss if the pattern continues.

FC Vaslui

This is the first time the Romanian FC Vaslui will participate in the group stage of Europa League. The team has a really poor statistics against Italian teams, has visited Italy 24 times and has achieved only 1 victory, overall record of W1 D6 L17. FC Vaslui is quite the surprise as they had to face Sparta Prague, a team considered to be much better than them. After a victory with 2:0 in Romania and a minimal loss in Prague with 0:1 Vaslui advanced in the group stage of the tournament. Overall away record in Europe since 2008 W1 D2 L5.

Prediction

While Lazio might not be the greatest host in Europa League, FC Vaslui is perhaps one of the worst visitors. Having lost 17 out of the 24 visits in Italy pretty much speaks for itself. Odds for a surprising draw or even an away victory are very rewarding: 4.33 for a draw and 8.50 for an away victory (Paddy Power).

However I think Lazio got this, despite their alternating pattern of wins and losses, according to which this should be a loss now. My prediction easy victory for Lazio.
