Lazio Roma vs CFR Cluj Picks
Lazio is no longer dependent on her to qualify in the sixteenth round. “Biancocelesti” need 6p in the last 2 games with CFR Cluj (home) and Rennes (away), but also a victory of Celtic Glasgow in Cluj, in the last stage of Group E. And for CFR Cluj everything is clear, to qualify for the European spring he needs only one point in the last 2 games with Lazio Roma (away) and Celtic Glasgow (home). “Le Aquile” only had results of over 2.5 goals, all results being 2-1. Lazio has little chance of qualifying, but will certainly approach the game with CFR only to victory. Romanians won the “Stadio Olimpico” 11 years ago, but not with Lazio but with AS Roma. They will be relaxed in Thursday’s game, because they know that in the event of a failure, they have a chance at home with Celtic.
Our Prediction: Over 1.5
