EUROPA:
Champions League – group stage
Match
start: 19:00 (GMT+2)
One
of the most interesting and thought-provoking battles of the 3rd
round of the group stage of the Europa League is the forthcoming
meeting in Nice of the same-name club and one of the favorite of the
modern Italian club Lazio.
The
teams of Lucien Favre and Simone Inzaghi had reached the match at
Allianz Riviera being the leaders of the 11th
group K. And that is why the winner of this battle will head the
tournament bracket.
Nice
France (the head coach Lucien Favre)
Let
us remind you that the opponents of Nice and Lazio in the 11th
group are Zulte Waregem, Belgium and Vitesse, Holland. During two
last matches with the representatives of Benelux countries the 3rd
winner of the French Ligue 1had by turn destroyed the opponents with
the total score 8:1.
The
most productive football player of Nice during these matches was
Alassane Pléa (4 goals). But the famous Italian center forward of
Nice Mario Balotelli had scored only one goal.
Lazio
Italy (the head coach Simone Inzaghi)
But
now “Super Mario” is highly motivated. Balotelli will play
against the top club of its country and in two weeks will go to Rome
to play a second leg against Biancocelesti.
In
its turn, the team of Simone Inzaghi had won over Vitesse and Zulte
Waregem with the total score 5:2. The best goalscorer of Lazio at
these matches became the center forward Ciro Immobile (2 goals).
