Lazio vs SV Zulte Waregem Predictions: Take Lazio to Make a Fast Start

Match Preview

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and baulks at the words à l'Orange, the chances are it probably is a duck. That is what we have here in this UEFA Europa League, Group K tie between Lazio and SV Zulte Waregem. While this will be the first-ever meeting between the Italian and Belgian sides, everything points to a home win. Lazio have been a free-scoring outfit, notching 14 goals in the last five outings and comfortably beating hapless Hellas Verona 3-0 away from home in Serie A on Sunday, despite a rash of defensive injuries, which saw the Biancocelesti make do without both Stefan de Vrij and Wallace. They also put three past Vitesse in the first group game, winning 3-2 on the road.

In contrast, SV Zulte Waregem were crushed 5-1 at home by Nice in the first group game and while their domestic form has since picked up, with a cup win at Liege and a 1-0 win at Gent last weekend, the football betting odds state that the Belgians are heavy underdogs in this one and that can only be right, as we state in our Lazio vs SV Zulte Waregem predictions.

Lazio vs SV Zulte Waregem Preview, Predictions, and Betting Advice

SV Zulte Waregem were blitzed by a talented Nice outfit in the first group clash and they have conceded at least once in four of their last five games. Lazio are well used to making fast starts and have scored at least once in four of their last five games, with the prolific Ciro Immobile scoring at least once in four of his last five outings, including a first-half brace at Verona on Sunday. He may be on the scoresheet again but as you will see in our Group K football betting tips, with the hosts conceding in the first half in their last four games prior to the win at Ghent, the stats point to the Italians taking advantage before half time and going on to win. Ladbrokes have a wealth of markets for the game and appear to offer some excellent value in taking Lazio to lead at half-time and full-time.

Lazio are scoring for fun, yet they have a few injuries at the back and are far from rock-solid in that department, having been beaten 4-1 at home by Napoli last midweek. They dominated in the first half of that game, however, and know that against a side lacking in confidence following their shellacking by Nice, attack is the best form of defence. We can be confident that there will be plenty of goals at the Stadio Olimpico and it may be worth looking at the over 3.5 goals market among plenty of other Lazio vs SV Zulte Waregem bets, where Betfred are taking a chance by offering odds-against.
