Prediction: 0-0
Real Sociedad
A place in top eight will be at stake when Lazio and Real Sociedad take on each other at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening. The Biancocelesti aim to retain top position in the Europa League standings, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Marco Baroni’s troops. Talented forward Loum Tchaouna is back from the Serie A ban, while all Manuel Lazzari, Patric, and Matias Vecino continue to miss out with injuries.
La Real, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Valencia. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Rome as both sides should be happy with one point from the match. All Mikel Oyarzabl, Takefusa Kubo, and Luka Sucic should be recalled to the starting XI, whilst Venezuela defender Jon Aramburu is back to contention after serving his one-game ban in the last La Liga game.
