Prediction: 2-0
Lokomotiv Moscow
Lazio play host to Lokomotiv Moscow at their Stadio Olimpico in the Europa League round 2. The Biancocelesti aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray, and we are positive that Maurizio Sarri’s men will go all guns blazing at the Russian outfit. Both Adekanye and Zaccagni are sidelined with injuries, while important midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic returns to the starting XI after he was rested in a 1-1 draw with Torino.
Lokomotiv Moscow, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous two league fixtures. Since Marko Nikolic’s men are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on Lazio. All Miranchuk, Rybus, and Ze Luis miss out through injuries, while midfielder Nayair Tiknizyan is banned for the match.

Founded in 1922 as Kazanka, Lokomotiv Moscow are a Russian football club that play their home games at RZD Arena. The stadium was opened in July 2002 and the capacity of the venue is 27.320.

The two teams were level on points (66), but thanks to a better head-to-head record Lokomotiv eventually lifted the trophy. Two years later (2004) the capital club repeated the success and once again CSKA Moscow finished second, only one point behind the Krasno-zelyonyye (Red-Greens).
