Match previews

Group F in the Europa League could not be any tighter with two games to go as all four teams have picked up five points, and punters can expect Lazio and Midtjylland to go all-out attack in search of a victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

Maurizio Sarri's Serie A hosts will be out for revenge after suffering a 5-1 humiliation in Denmark last month and confidence should be flowing again as they have pieced together a seven-game unbeaten run since that damaging defeat.

However, Midtjylland's spirits are also high following their ten-game unbeaten sequence, suggesting goals could be the way to go.

Since thumping Lazio, Midtjylland have played out a pair of 2-2 draws with Feyenoord and they have seen both teams score in eight of their last ten matches in all competitions.

It is also worth noting that Lazio's two home games in Europe have seen them beat Feyenoord 4-2 and share the spoils in a four-goal thriller with Sturm Graz.

Home advantage can be crucial in European competition and it ought to inspire Union Berlin to success over Braga in Group D.

Union were edged out 1-0 on their away trip to Braga but are taken to leapfrog the Primeira Liga outfit into second with victory in the German capital.

They sit top of the Bundesliga, one point clear of Bayern Munich after 11 rounds of fixtures, and have defeated Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, two of Germany's Champions League representatives, on their own patch this term.
