Apollon
Lazio will be looking to kick off their Europa League campaign in style when they host Apollon at their Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening. The Biancocelesti were more than unfortunate not to book their place in the Champions League, with the team suffering a loss to Inter on the last day of the 2017/2018 season. The club chiefs did well to keep hold of important midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the summer transfer window and seeing that Lazio are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Biancocelesti. Apollon, on the other hand, did well to eliminate Basel in the play-offs, but seeing that they suffered five defeats in previous six away games in the Europa League, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts this time out.
