Europa League Group F is intriguing with all four teams in the group level on five points apiece. Feyenoord, FC Midtjylland, Lazio, and Sturm Graz are all level on points ahead of match No. 5, but the group could receive a shake-up on Thursday.

Lazio will host FC Midtjylland at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The Biancocelesti are third in Group F due to goal difference.

FC Midtjylland are second in the group courtesy of goal difference. The Danish team is +3 in goals compared to Lazio’s -2. Both clubs are chasing first-place Feyenoord, who are +4 in goals.

Lazio are on a fine run of form in all competitions. They are unbeaten in seven straight games, and Lazio are coming off a 2-0 win against Atalanta at the weekend to improve their chances of winning the Serie A title for the first time in more than 20 years.

The Biancocelesti have not lost a football match since being blasted by FC Midtjylland 5-1 in Denmark in the Europa League. FC Midtjylland were 3-0 up after 52 minutes thanks to goals from Paulinho, Sory Kaba, and Evander Ferreira.

Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic pulled a goal back before the hour-mark, but FC Midtjylland scored twice more through Gustav Isaksen and Erik Sviatchenko.

FC Midtjylland are also on a brilliant run of form in all competitions. The Wolves are unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions. FC Midtjylland drew 1-1 with Danish title rival FC Copenhagen at the weekend.

Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri will be without Manuel Lazzari due to a red-card suspension. Sarri should have a fully fit squad otherwise for the fixture.

Ciro Immobile leads Lazio in goals with seven in all competitions this season. The striker also has five assists. Milinkovic-Savic has four goals in all competitions, and scored against FC Midtjylland in the reverse fixture.

FC Midtjylland coach Albert Capellas could be without Junior Brumado. The forward is nursing a sprained knee and is a doubt to make the squad.

Anders Dreyer leads FC Midtjyllandin goals in all competitions with seven. Isaksen has six goals and one of those scores came against Lazio in the reverse fixture.

Lazio are brilliant at home this season, with a record of 5W-2D-1L in all competitions. The Biancocelesti should use the momentum of the weekend’s Serie A win against Atalanta to post a victory over FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.

Lazio should get revenge against the Danes with a 3-1 win.
