Live on ITV4: Thurs 18.00: Lazio deserve to be BetVictor’s 6/4 favourites for the Europa League tie against Spurs and the Serie A side can edge it.
Unbeaten in Group J, Tottenham snapped a run of three consecutive Europa League draws by beating NK Maribor last time out and that result means they have a strong chance of reaching the competition’s next phase.
Avoiding defeat at Lazio would strengthen Spurs’ position but Andre Villas-Boas’ charges are Betfred’s 11/5 outsiders and they could find the going tough in Rome, where the hosts are an enticing 6/4 courtesy of BetVictor.
Admittedly the Londoners will take a strong team to the Olympic Stadium, their manager having demonstrated his commitment to going further in the competition but Tottenham’s form of late hasn’t been great and it’s easy to see them losing out in a tight encounter here, especially as Lazio know victory will ensure they win the group.
Boylesports rate the home side at a generous 3/1 to sneak it by a one-goal margin and for the more ambitious it’s 15/2 courtesy of BetVictor for them to grab the game’s only goal.
Recommended Bets:
Lazio to beat Tottenham – 6/4 (BetVictor)
Lazio to beat Tottenham by one – 3/1 (Boylesports)
