Head-to-head statistics Plzen - Lazio
FC Viktoria Plzen Team Overview
Victoria should be pleased with their performance this season.

Lazio Rome Team Overview
Lazio continues to suffer from inconsistent results. The team plays in patches, alternating between good matches and unsuccessful ones. Last weekend, the "Eagles" managed to secure a crucial 3 points in an away match against Milan (2-1), which were very much needed in the battle for the top 4. However, the victory was only achieved thanks to a penalty earned in the final minutes. Before that, Marco Baroni's squad failed to break through Venezia's defense (0-0), a team that has long been at the bottom of the table. However, this does not affect the Europa League. During the group stage, even with a semi-reserve lineup, Lazio steamrolled their opponents, finishing in first place with 19 points. As for the upcoming match, the coaching staff will be unable to count on 5 players, including top scorer Valentin Castellanos (9+3, muscle injury).

⚽️ Goal Prediction
Both teams to score (yes) - is one of the most reliable betting options for the upcoming clash. Marco Baroni has managed to instill an interesting yet effective style of play in his team. Lazio always tries to take the initiative, regardless of their opponents' level. Even in a recent away cup match against the formidable Inter (0-2), the "Eagles" weren't afraid to play from a position of strength, though their finishing let them down. As for Viktoria, this team has failed to score at home only once this season. The exception was the game against Ludogorets (0-0). Therefore, an exchange of goals is likely to occur.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams regularly approach the corner flag. For instance, Viktoria averages 5.4 corners per game. In the home match against Ferencváros (3-0), the Czech team even executed as many as 8 corner kicks. Lazio, on the other hand, earns set-pieces near the opponent's goal on average 5.9 times per game. In this statistical parameter, the "Eagles" are among the leaders in the Italian championship. Therefore, our betting option is total corners over 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers believe that Victoria has no chance of success in the upcoming match. However, if we were in their place, we wouldn't be so categorical. The Czech team should put up a fight. The team is in excellent form, having won 5 out of 6 matches, and in 4 cases, they scored at least three times against the opponents' goalkeepers. Moreover, the "red-blues" effectively use their home field advantage, and the last game against Ferencvaros (3-0) is an excellent confirmation of these words. Therefore, the best decision would be to avoid betting on outcomes and opt for the option of both teams to score (yes), which has a decent chance of hitting. We would not be surprised if the upcoming match ends, for example, with a score of 2-2.
