With three rounds played, Lazio has been left sitting third in Group E, and the threat of not reaching the Champions League knockout stages could become very real on Tuesday if the team suffers another loss against Feyenoord. Two weeks ago, the Dutch side dominated the clash at home, winning 3-1.
Santiago Gimenez continued his wonderful start to the campaign against Lazio with a brace and could be the difference-maker again in Tuesday’s affair. The Mexican forward has already scored 15 times in 13 appearances this season, becoming one of the deadliest strikers in European football.
According to reports, Lazio had a chance to sign Gimenez in the summer but opted against it, and it’s backfired on them, with the team sitting only midtable in Serie A and struggling to score goals. Across the last three outings across all competitions, the Eagles have struck just two times, and both goals have come via penalties.
The club’s all-time top goalscorer, Ciro Immobile, and his crew must do a lot better Tuesday night to compete with Feyenoord. Immobile has yet to score in the Champions League this season and, as club captain, must feel highly responsible for the team’s European shortcomings.
Maurizio Sarri needs to start turning things around quickly, or risk getting sacked. The team made big strides under him last season, finishing second in the league, but for some reason, the highly-rated manager hasn’t gotten enough good performances out of his side in 2023-24.
It’s a pivotal week for Sarri, as there is also a big derby against Roma coming up at the weekend. He’ll be loved again by the Lazio fans in no time if he can pull off two big results with the team.
Historically, Lazio has struggled against Dutch opposition. The 3-1 loss suffered against Feyenoord in the first meeting marks the team’s sixth defeat in 11 games versus teams from the Netherlands. The head-to-head record against Feyenoord specifically reads one win, one draw, and three losses. Lazio badly needs another win in the match-ups to maintain a realistic chance of a top-two finish in the group.
