Galatasaray failed to proceed in the Champions League after defeat by PSV in the qualifiers but held their own to get to the Europa League group stages. They are set to host Italian side Lazio in the opening game of Group E. Galatasaray have the better run, with an eight-game undefeated run going to this game and they’ve scored in 19 straight games but they need to improve defensively. The hosts have managed just one clean sheet in the last 13 matches, but none in the last five matches. In their last two games, Galatasaray led 2-0 but both games ended 2-2. At home, they are unbeaten in their last three matches, winning the last two but both sides have scored in Galatasaray’s last six home matches. In their last eight Europa League matches, Galatasaray have lost just once, and won four, but managed just two clean sheets in 10. At home, in the competition, they are unbeaten in the last three.

Lazio are coming from a 2-0 defeat at the hands of AC Milan, and it could have been worse had Frank Kessie scored from the penalty spot. It was their first defeat of the season after winning their opening two matches but they have no clean sheet in the season, and managed only two in their last 12 matches. While they opened the season with nine goals in the first two games, Lazio have failed to score in five of their last 10 matches. A poor scoring run, as well as few clean sheets are largely the reason they have 10 losses in 15 away matches. Lazio have actually failed to score in their last four away matches, and in the Europa League, they have five straight away losses. They’ve conceded two goals in each of the five away Europa League matches and failed to score in three.
