Following an impressive victory on the first matchday, Lazio aim to build on their strong start in the Europa League when they host Nice at the Stadio Olimpico.

After a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, that performance spurred another victory in Sunday's league match against an in-form Torino. Matteo Guendouzi opened the scoring, and Dia found the net once again in a 3-2 triumph.

Now sitting in eighth place in Serie A with 10 points from six games, the Biancocelesti are finding their rhythm under new manager Marco Baroni. The ex-Hellas Verona coach will be looking to guide Lazio to victories in both of their first two European fixtures for the first time since 2017, as they aim to extend their strong home form in UEFA competition.


Nice, on the other hand, have lost both previous encounters with Lazio—home and away in the 2017-18 Europa League—and have been defeated in all six of their matches against Italian teams, with an aggregate score of 13-1.

Despite this poor record, Les Aiglons have made a steady start to their current campaign, earning a 1-1 draw in their Europa League opener at home to Real Sociedad, thanks to Pablo Rosario's equaliser. This came shortly after an 8-0 thrashing of newly-promoted Saint-Etienne in a one-sided league encounter at the Allianz Riviera.

Like Lazio, Nice are aiming for a top-eight finish in the Europa League's 36-team group stage, which would allow them to avoid a tricky two-legged playoff for knockout qualification. However, they will need to improve their form on the road, having lost their last six away matches in the Europa League since a 5-1 victory over Zulte Waregem seven years ago.


Prediction:  Lazio 2-1 Nice
