Lazio v Sporting Betting Tips, Preview & Odds December 14th 2011

Match Preview

Lazio

Lazio has done poorly in this Europa League campaign, recording only one victory, 3 draw games and a loss. The team is currently sitting on the third sport and needs a victory here and a hope that FC Vaslui will not manage to get the 3 points against Zurich. Lazio has scored so far 5 goals and has conceded 5, which shows that the team’s attack isn’t the strongest, but their defense is doing somewhat well. The team managed to record 2 consecutive victories in the Italian Serie A and takes the 4th spot, just 2 points behind the first Juventus. While this tournament might not be as tempting as Champions League, it’s a cup worth having in your trophy collection.

Sporting

Sporting needs nothing from this game as the team is currently first with 12 points and no matter the outcome of this match, they will qualify as first in Group D. The team managed to win 4 of the 5 games and has surprisingly lost only to FC Vaslui as a visitor. Sporting have scored a total of 8 goals and have received only two, making them the team with the best offense and defense in this group. However for this game, most of the starters will not be traveling to Italy for obvious reasons. The team will most likely go for a defensive play with most of the reserves and youngsters, and a loss would be the logical outcome.
