Pre-game odds and win probability: Lazio have a slight edge
- HOME: 17/10 (2.70) – 37%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Twente drew 1-1 in both of their first two UEL matches against Man Utd and Fenerbahce and the Tukkers, who are 17/10 underdogs ahead of Thursday’s game, could be tough to beat again this week.
Lazio meanwhile, have won four of their last five matches, however, they have lost three of their last five tussles on the road, and they aren’t overly attractive at 8/5 in the match result markets. Head over to our football tips page for more of our latest Europa League predictions.

Player to watch – Michel Vlap
Michel Vlap was Twente’s Man-of-the-Match in their 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce on matchday two, when he netted his team’s solitary goal to cap a fine display.
Vlap can be influential again
Vlap is an all-action performer for Twente in midfield and the 27-year-old has been averaging 1.50 tackles and 1.50 shots per game in the Europa League this season. Vlap has also been averaging 2.50 key passes, highlighting his more creative skillset, so expect him to be central to proceedings again against Lazio.
