Lazio and AZ Alkmaar will meet in a duel between two very good teams. However, it is the run of the Italians that would be decisive, since they have not lost any of their last five games. Therefore, Lazio will try to take advantage of their location at the Olímpico in Rome to continue their good run.
We must not leave aside the goalscoring quota of the Dutch team. In their last 21 games, Alkmaar have scored at least one goal in each of these and will look to fill the net in the Italian capital.
