Lazio - Player To Watch
Boulaye Dia has been excellent for Lazio since his summer move and has scored five goals in five starts in all competitions for the Italian capital club.
Nice - Player To Watch
Evann Guessand has been Nice's most potent attacker this season with four goal contributions in six Ligue 1 matches so far.
Lazio vs Nice - Prediction
Since the 8-0 demolition of lowly Saint Etienne, Nice have only scored one goal in two matches so they are struggling a bit up top, while Lazio will certainly fancy themselves as favourites with the home advantage.
