Lazio are hungry to pick up an important three points as they host Sturm Graz in their Europa League match tonight.
The match between the Biancocelesti and the Austrian side kicks off at 20.00 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico.
The first meeting between these two sides was an edgy affair last week, with Sturm Graz looking better on the night but failing to find an opening through Lazio’s defence, leaving things to end goalless. The result means all four teams in Group F are tied on four points, leaving the group wide open with three games left to play.
Maurizio Sarri’s side have looked strong domestically this season, sitting third in the Serie A table, but have struggled to maintain this form in Europe, suffering a painful 5-1 loss to FC Midtjylland.
Lazio have a healthy squad heading into tonight’s match, recently recovering defender Nicolo Casale, whilst Sturm Graz have to do without midfielder Vesel Demaku.
