Lazio go into this final game in Group F needing to avoid defeat to qualify for the knock-out stages. However, a win for Club Brugge would see them qualify and send Lazio into the Europa League. Lazio could even win the group if they draw this game and leaders Borussia Dortmund fail to win at Zenit. Qualification is the main target for the Italian side and their home form may well see them achieve that. They have won both of their home games by a 3-1 margin and also won their last two home games in the Europa League last season. In all competitions, Lazio have only lost one of their last six home matches. The weekend saw them get a 2-1 win away at Spezia with Immobile getting on the scoresheet for the fifth game in a row.

Club Brugge are two points behind Lazio, so only a win will take them into the last sixteen of the Champions League. If they do, it will be the first time they have made it out of the group stages. They got off to a good start in this group with a 2-1 win at Zenit, thanks to a 93rd minute winner. Brugge followed that up with a home 1-1 draw with Lazio, after conceding an early goal. Two games against Borussia Dortmund both ended in 3-0 defeats. They boosted their qualification hopes this week with a 3-0 home win over Zenit. That win in Zenit is their only away Champions League victory in their last five matches. The weekend saw Brugge beat Sint-Truiden 1-0 at home to maintain a two point lead in the Belgian Jupiler League. Only two of their last six away games in all competitions have been won though. A bet on a home victory for Lazio is the one to make.
