Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Lazio
Match Time & Date:
03/10/2019
03:00 PM
Prediction: 3-1
Rennes
Lazio will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Cluj when they host Rennes at their Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening. The Biancocelesti aim to keep their hopes of booking their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League alive and we are positive that coach Simone Inzaghi is going to field the best possible side this time out. Over the years Lazio have turned their Stadio Olimpico into a real fortress and we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from their second group game.
The Biancocelesti rolled over Genoa in their last league fixture and they are definitely capable of beating the out-of-sorts French outfit in the “Eternal City”. Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, made a very slow start to the new Ligue 1 campaign and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Lazio’s party in Rome.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Lukaku):
Jordan Lukaku is well known for his older brother Romelu Lukaku, who plays for Everton as a striker. Jordan began his senior career at Anderlecht, but he made no more than eight league appearances for the club. The left-footed full-back played for fellow Belgian outfit Oostende from 2013 to 2016 and at the end of the 2015/2016 season he moved to Italy.
Jordan Lukaku signed a deal with Italian club Lazio for a fee of £5 million (plus £1 million in bonuses). His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. Speaking of his international career, Jordan Lukaku made his Belgium debut against Andorra on 10 October, 2015.
However, he has yet to find the net for the Belgian national team. Jordan was born in Antwerp on 25 July, 1994. His father Roger Lukaku was a professional footballer as well and played for the Zaire national team.
