Comments AZ Alkmaar vs Lazio: Desperate
After the first leg of the 1/8 round of the European Cup 1 week ago, Lazio was the name that surprised many fans when they lost 1-2 to a team that was underrated AZ Alkmaar. It should be emphasized that this is the match that Sarri's teachers and students played at Olimpico's lair.
With the current score, Lazio is in danger of stopping in the European arena. It is understandable that Lazio's anxiety is because they must win by a margin in the second leg to continue - or at least a minimum victory to bring the game back to balance.
According to the assessment, these are all difficult tasks because the representatives of the Italian league are at a disadvantage when they have to play away from home. Moreover, Lazio are in bad form when they only drew 1 and lost 1 in the last 2 matches.
If counting away matches, the Italian capital team has only won 3 times in the last 9 matches in all fronts. With the above away form, Lazio can be disappointed once more when losing the away match tonight.
Contrary to the opponent, AZ Alkmaar has the best preparation in terms of performance when winning the last 4 matches in all competitions. In the European C3 Cup, the Dutch representative won 11 times and lost 2 after 13 matches have passed since qualifying.
- AZ Alkmaar: Ryan, Kerkez, Goes, Chatzidiakos, Sugawara, Clasie, Reijnders, Mijnans, Karlsson, Odgaard, Pavlidis.
- Lazio: Maximiano, Marusic, Patric, Casale, Lazzari, Cataldi, Milinkovic-Savic, Alberto, Zaccagni, Pedro, F.Anderson.
