SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Thursday's Europa League meeting between Lazio and Marseille.
Lazio vs Marseille (Thursday, 17:45)
A mouthwatering showdown in Europa League E takes place on Thursday evening as Lazio lock horns with Marseille at the Stadio Olimpico.
The hosts currently sit second in the section with three points to show from two games, with Marseille one point adrift of their opponents heading into matchday three.
Lazio will enter this contest riding the crest of wave following a fantastic 3-1 win over Italian champions Inter on Saturday, the capital club's most eye-catching result of the Maurizio Sarri era so far.
Marseille, meanwhile, snapped a four-game winless streak with a 4-1 success over Lorient on Sunday, moving up to third-place in Ligue 1 in the process.
This fixture looks set to have all the ingredients required for an entertaining match-up and it's the 10/11 (SkyBet) available on each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points that I was drawn to.
The high-octane Italians are averaging 4.25 corners per-game in Serie A this season, a tally that increases to 5.5 per 90 minutes when playing at their Rome base.
Jorge Sampaoli’s guests, on the other hand, are averaging five flag kicks per outing this season in France and with all that in mind, I'll happily back each team to hit the 3+ corners in what should be an open and attack-minded affair.
These two teams have played their part in plenty of fiery fixtures in recent seasons so 10+ booking points apiece doesn't look like too much to ask given that Group E is on a knife edge.
Domestically, both sides are averaging over two cards per-game and it's worth noting that German referee Deniz Aytekin has flashed three or more cards in 11/12 outings this term.
The aforementioned combination clicked in Lazio's 2-0 home win over Lokomotiv Moscow and the same angle of attack makes plenty of appeal in the Eternal City on Thursday evening.
