Marco Baroni's Lazio continue to be incredibly consistent in the top five of Serie A, fifth, just one point behind leaders Napoli (29) after taking their fifth consecutive home league win in their UEL general at the expense of Bologna 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico last Sunday. Baroni's team have a saldo of 9-1-3 and a total of 28 points with 28-14 goals, and also in the xG_table they are one of the top-4 teams with almost equal xG-numbers.

Against Bologna, he expected goal difference (xG) was roughly 2.6 - 0.1! They are showing good form!

In the Europa League, Lazio naturally are strong. The Romans first beat Dynamo Kiev 3-0 at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. Then Nice fell 4-1 at the Stadio Olimpico. Twente, on the other hand, lost 2-0 at De Grolsch Veste. In their fourth game, Lazio celebrated a narrow victory at the expense of Porto, 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, after Pedro decided the game in extra time. All of these opponents are far ahead of Ludogorets class-wise.

Pedro has managed to score three times for the Romans in the Euro fields, Valentin Castellanos and Boulaye Dia twice, and Dele-Bashiru, Gustav Isaksen, Alessio Romagnoli, and Zaccagni once each.

Team news:

In the midfield of Lazio, Gaetano Castrovilli is out with a knee injury. Nuno Tavares is suffering from a thigh injury. Baroni will undoubtedly practice quite a bit of rotation in the Ludogorets game, as they will face tough opponents soon, facing Napoli twice in both Serie A and Coppa Italia, as well as Ajax in the Europa League and Inter Milan in Serie A. One potential player who could get some rest could be at least Lazio's center-back Romagnoli, who was substituted after suffering a calf injury in the last match against Bologna. However, the man has not been officially announced as injured in advance. Zaccagni also suffered a knock in that game and the striker, who has scored five goals in Serie A this season, may well be rested against Ludogorets. There still are brilliant players coming from bench!

Possible starting lineup for Lazio(4-2-3-1): Mandas; Marusic, Gila, Gigot, Pellegrini; Vecino, Rovella; Tchaouna, Dele-Bashiru, Pedro; Dia.

Igor Jovicevic's Ludogorets continue to lead the Bulgarian Parva Liga with 41 points after 15 rounds with a 13-2-0 record, 30-4 goals, seven points ahead of second-placed Botev Plovdiv. It is no wonder they dominate the Bulgarian league as they have more than double of player transfermarket value and budget of the 2nd biggest club, and most of their players are foreign.

Although the games in their home Parva Liga are going well, Ludogorets is still hunting for its first win in the Europa League. They have only taken one point to go three losses. Jovicevic's team first lost to Sparta Prague 0-2 at their home cave at Huvepharma Arena in Razgrad. In the next game, they drew 0-0 when Plzen visited Doosan Arena. Anderlecht then went 2-0 up at Lotto Park. In their fourth game, Ludogorets finally got a goal but lost 1-2 to Athletic Bilbao at the Huvepharma Arena. Marcus scored the home team's first goal in the opening period.

Team news:

Ludogorets defender Anton Nedyalkov will miss the game due to a knee injury. Both strikers Rick and Caio Vidal are suspended. The latter's absences could be supplemented by Bulgarian internationals Chochev and Georgi Rusev. No good news here, and it weakens the chances of a surprise even further.

Ludogorets (5-5-1) possible starting lineup: Padt; Fonn Witry, Verdon, Almeida, Son; Rusev, Duarte, Pedrinho, Chochev, Marcus; Duah.

Lazio, who are in a strong attack, have made a strong impression recently, winning 11 of their previous 12 games. When you consider such modest statistics from Ludogorets, they have won only twice in their previous 24 away games in the Europa League!

上周日在奥林匹克球场以3比0击败博洛尼亚后，马可·巴罗尼的拉齐奥继续保持在意甲前五的稳定，仅落后领头羊那不勒斯（29分）1分，排名第五。巴罗尼的球队战绩为9胜3负，28球14进，共得28分，在xG_table上，他们是xg数几乎相等的前四支球队之一。

对阵博洛尼亚，他预计净胜球（xG）大约是2.6比0.1！他们表现得很好！

在欧联杯中，拉齐奥自然是强大的。罗马人首先在汉堡人民公园球场以3比0击败基辅迪纳摩。然后尼斯在奥林匹克体育场以4比1落败。另一方面，特文特以0比2输给了德·格罗夫施·韦斯特。在他们的第四场比赛中，佩德罗在加时赛中决定了比赛，拉齐奥在奥林匹克球场以2-1险胜波尔图。所有这些对手在阶级上都远远领先于卢多戈雷特。

佩德罗在欧洲赛场上为罗马人打进三球，瓦伦丁·卡斯特利亚诺斯和布拉耶·迪亚各进两球，德勒-巴什鲁、古斯塔夫·伊萨克森、阿莱西奥·罗马尼奥利和扎卡尼各进一球。

团队新闻:

在拉齐奥中场，卡斯特罗维利因膝伤缺阵。塔瓦雷斯的大腿受伤了。毫无疑问，在对卢多戈雷茨的比赛中，巴罗尼将会进行大量的轮换训练，因为他们将很快面对强大的对手，他们将在意甲和意大利杯中两次对阵那不勒斯，在欧联杯中对阵阿贾克斯，在意甲对阵国际米兰。一个可能得到休息的球员可能至少是拉齐奥的中后卫罗马诺里，他在上一场对阵博洛尼亚的比赛中因小腿受伤而被换下。然而，官方并没有提前宣布这名男子受伤。扎卡尼在那场比赛中也受到了撞击，这位本赛季在意甲打进5球的前锋很可能在对阵卢多戈雷茨的比赛中休息。板凳上仍然有很多优秀的球员！

拉齐奥可能首发阵容（4-2-3-1）：曼达斯；马鲁西奇、吉拉、吉戈、佩莱格里尼；Vecino Rovella;Tchaouna, Dele-Bashiru, Pedro；迪亚。

伊戈尔·约维切维奇率领的卢多戈雷茨队在15轮赛后以13胜2负0负的战绩，30球4进，以41分继续领跑保加利亚帕尔瓦西甲，领先第二名波特夫·普罗夫迪夫7分。难怪他们统治着保加利亚联赛，因为他们的球员转会市场价值和预算是第二大俱乐部的两倍多，而且他们的大多数球员都是外国人。

虽然主场帕尔瓦联赛的比赛进展顺利，但卢多戈雷茨仍在寻找他们在欧联杯的首胜。他们三场失利只拿了一分。约维切维奇的球队首先在布拉格的Huvepharma Arena主场0-2输给了布拉格斯巴达队。在接下来的比赛中，他们在Plzen造访斗山体育馆时0-0战平。安德莱赫特随后在洛托公园2-0领先。在第四场比赛中，卢多戈雷茨终于取得了进球，但在Huvepharma Arena以1-2不敌毕尔巴鄂竞技。马库斯在开场阶段为主队打进了第一个进球。

团队新闻:

卢多戈雷茨后卫安东·内迪亚科夫将因膝伤缺席本场比赛。里克和比达尔都被禁赛。后者的缺阵可以由保加利亚国脚乔切夫和鲁塞夫替补。这里没有好消息，这进一步削弱了出现意外的可能性。

卢多戈雷茨（5-5-1）可能的首发阵容：帕特；Fonn Witry, Verdon, Almeida，儿子；鲁塞夫，杜阿尔特，佩德里尼奥，乔切夫，马库斯；Duah。

拉齐奥在进攻上很强势，最近给人留下了深刻的印象，他们在过去的12场比赛中赢了11场。当你考虑到卢多戈雷茨的数据时，他们在之前的24场欧联杯客场比赛中只赢了两场！
