Comments Lazio vs AZ Alkmaar: Take advantage of the home field

Lazio did not perform well in the European Cup and was only in 3rd place in the group stage, thereby relegated to the C3 Cup in the knockout stage. In fact, this is a more suitable arena for Lazio and the representative team of Serie A easily defeated Cluj in the play-off round and won tickets to the next round of 1/8.

Tonight, coach Sarri's teachers and students have the first leg of the 1/8 round against AZ Alkmaar and with their rising form, plus home advantage, the Rome team is confident to win a smooth result. Notably, the Olimpico home team is gaining emotional momentum when, respectively, defeating Sampdoria and the top team Napoli in the last 2 rounds in the domestic tournament.

Across the field, AZ Alkmaar also has a good preparation in form when winning the last 3/4 matches in all competitions. But in terms of reputation and squad depth, the Dutch representative is actually one level below Lazio and investors will have to be careful when placing their trust in AZ Alkmaar.

- Lazio: Provenel; Marusic, Patric, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Milinkovic-Savic, Vecino, Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.

- AZ Alkmaar: Ryan; Sugawara, Goes, Hatzidiakos, Kerkez; Reijnders, Mihailovic, Mijnans; Odgaard, Pavlidis, Karlsson.
