Lazio vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
Lazio are looking to complete the first stage of the Europa League undefeated and on matchday seven they get to host Real Sociedad. For Real Sociedad, the European season hasn’t been as great as Lazio’s but being 12th, they still have a window to reach the knockouts. Read on for our preview and a prediction of this match.
Hosts Lazio are so far the best team in the Europa League, sitting atop the standings with 16 points from the opening six matches. They are tied on points with Athletic Bilbao, but goal difference favors the Italian side.
Having already secured passage to the next stage, Lazio will be under no pressure here. They can only target bettering their record of seven wins in a single European season. As their visitors have never won away to a Serie A team in Europe, Lazio will be very confident here. Real Sociedad have work to do, having managed just 10 points so far.

Lazio - Real Sociedad: Form Analysis
Lazio have stuttered a bit in their recent matches but are coming into this game off a positive return. They thrashed Verona 3-0 away from home in their last match, putting a stop to a three-match winless run.
Marco Baroni's charges will want to look beyond this run, as they have a better streak in the Europa League. They are one of five undefeated teams in the competition, winning five times.
The latest of those wins came on matchday six, when they thrashed Ajax 3-1 away from home. The Eagles’ confidence coming into this game will further be elevated by an 11-game unbeaten ruin in the Europa League at home.
Real Sociedad have two draws and three losses away to Italian sides.
Real Sociedad have an uphill task here, yet they desperately need the three points from this match. Over the weekend, their three-match winning run was brought to an end by struggling Valencia in a 1-0 away defeat.
As they look to redeem themselves here, their record away to Italian opposition doesn’t make for a great script. They are winless on the road against Serie A sides. Sociedad haven't had it any smoother on their recent travels either, losing twice in the last three matches.
Their three wins in five matches on the road were against massively weaker teams compared to Lazio. The visitors will have to up their game.

Lazio & Real Sociedad Squad Analysis
Lazio manager is definitely having a selection headache at the team, occasioned by mixed injury news and suspensions.
For this coming game, Loum Tchaouna is available after serving a one-match ban in domestic action. As he returns, Samuel Gigot starts a suspension of his own.
Manuel Lazzari, Matias Vecino and Patricio Gil are all out injured. Meanwhile Spaniard Pedro has been prolific in this competition and could earn a start for Lazio.
37-year-old Pedro has scored four times in the Europa League this season.
Coming from a loss to struggling Valencia, Real Sociedad manager declared fatigue could be an issue.
He will, therefore, welcome with open arms, Jon Aramburu, who is coming back from suspension. Arsen Aakharyan is listed as a doubt for this match while Hamari Traore remains a long-term absentee.
Spain international Martin Zubimendi has been in the news lately, linked with a transfer abroad but he should start this game.

Our Lazio vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Our main prediction for Lazio v Real Sociedad will be on the goals market and we are going for over 2.5. Lazio, who are the favorites here, are coming from a big win. They scored three times in that match and in two earlier in their last nine games.
With just two clean sheets in 10 matches, however, it won’t be easy against their Spanish visitors. Real Sociedad have only failed to score once in their last four matches. Meanwhile, four of their last five Europa League games produced three goals, that’s why we feel this could be high-scoring.
Lazio vs Real Sociedad - Other Interesting Predictions
Lazio to win.
Lazio haven't been able to conjure a comfortable run in their last few matches, winning just twice in five. In Europe it has been different though, with the Italians one of the few remaining unbeaten sides.
While Lazio are enjoying top form in Europa League, Sociedad are struggling, coming here with one win in four on the road. Based on this, our second prediction is for Lazio to win.
