Comments on Cluj vs Lazio: Defend the advantage
Lazio have built themselves a significant advantage when they won with a score of 1-0 in the first leg a week ago. The author of the only goal of the match was a familiar name - Ciro Immobile.
Although the song was triumphant, Lazio could not bring joy to investors because the handicap challenge for them was up to 0:1 1/2. Entering the second leg, Lazio will start with the odds 0:1/2. Although the challenge has been much lighter, like the first leg, the Serie A representative is not a safe choice for investors.
As mentioned, because they won 1-0, Lazio only needs a draw in the rematch to put their name in the next round. In that situation, it is likely that the blue shirt team will put safety first. In other words, they will do whatever it takes to keep a clean sheet.
In fact, Lazio's recent away form is not so impressive. They only won the last 2/6 matches, the rest drew 1, lost 3. Notably, Maurizio Sarri's teachers and students lost 7 of the last 8 away matches to have a 0:1/2 handicap, the latest being against Verona .
