SNAI – Europa League Showdown: Lazio Faces a Slippery Challenge Against Viktoria Plzen, While Roma’s Quest for Glory Hinges on a Draw at 3.55!
— The Roman clubs set their sights on securing a spot in the quarter-finals, much like Fiorentina in the Conference League: following their defeat in Athens, the Viola's victory pays out at 1.55. Milano, 12 March — Both Lazio and Roma face crucial encounters in the Europa League, with identical outcomes from their first legs (2-1). The return leg kicks off at 18:45 on Thursday. While Lazio's path appears smoother after their away win, the Giallorossi's journey remains quite uphill, despite Shomurodov's goal giving them a slender advantage heading into their second clash. At the Olimpico, Lazio welcomes Viktoria Plzen, aiming to build on their 2-1 lead from the first leg in the Czech Republic where they had to contend with a double numerical disadvantage. Current odds on Snai for a Lazio win stand at a modest 1.35, with a draw at 4.90 and an away victory at 7.75, all based on standard 90 minutes of play. The Over is pegged at 1.67, making it the likelier outcome compared to the Under at 2.05, while the No Goal is priced under the Goal at 1.77 versus 1.97. In the head-to-head for progression, Lazio is heavily favoured at 1.01, with elimination at a distant 17, as they await the return of Castellanos and Boulaye Dia, the most probable scorer at 2.50 for Baroni's side. Roma's Task Ahead While Lazio enjoys home advantage, Roma will feature in the San Mamés, the venue for the final. They've got a precious goal to defend, but in the return's 90 minutes, it’s Athletic that holds the overall edge in the betting, with the home win at 1.85. Meanwhile, a draw or a win for Ranieri's men, both advantageous for qualification, are listed at 3.55 and 4.00. Over three goals stands at 1.95, compared to Under at 1.75, while the odds for Goal (1.80) and No Goal (1.90) are closer than one might fancy. Key scoring hopes for Roma are pinned on Dovbyk (3.25) and Dybala (4.00), with Guruzeta (3.00) the main threat for Athletic. Ultimately, the 2-1 outcome from the first leg gives Roma a solid edge at 1.60 versus Athletic's 2.35 in the qualification stakes. Conference League On Thursday, Fiorentina returns to the fray in the Conference League after a 3-2 setback in Athens against Panathinaikos. A potential comeback for Palladino's men is pegged at 1.55 for a win in regulation time, while a draw at 3.85 or a Greek victory at 5.75 would signal the end of their European campaign. The odds sit evenly for Over and Under (1.80 and 1.87) and for Goal and No Goal respectively (1.90 and 1.80); Kean (2.50), Gudmundsson (3.00), and Beltran (3.25) all emerge as threats to propel the Viola into the quarter-finals with crucial goals. - Resource: "https://www.lasicilia.it/ultimi-aggiornamenti/snai-europa-league-lazio-in-discesa-col-viktoria-plzen-alla-roma-serve-limpresa-basta-il-pari-a-355-2434464/
