Lazio to take three points in Florence

Another night of boo's at the London Stadium

Girona to return to winning ways
Leg 1 Lazio (90mins) @ 11/53.20 (19:45)
Fiorentina are still in the hunt for a top four place this season, but it is probably more realistic that they will scrapping it out for places in the other two European competitions.
Lazio are away from home tonight, but I do like their chances of winning in Florence - more so than they odds suggest anyway.
The visitors have won four of their last five on the road in Serie A, while the hosts are in the midst of a sticky patch.
Vincenzo Italiano's side have won just one of their last seven in the league - losing on four occasions - and even at home it's just four points from the last nine available.
Leg 2 Brentford (90mins) @ 17/102.70 (20:00)
The pressure continues to mount on David Moyes, and given that there was always a section of West Ham fans disgruntled when they were winning, the magnitude of that ill-feeling has grown significantly given their current form.
The Hammers head into tonight's fixture on the back of three defeats to nil, and no win in eight in all competitions.
The Bees are hardly in good form as they make the short trip to the London Stadium, but they did beat Wolves 0-2 at Molineux a fortnight ago, and have had to face Liverpool and Man City since. At the prices, they are a value bet - especially if the home fans get on the backs of their players early on.
Leg 3 Girona (90mins) @ 8/131.61 (20:00)
Girona have slipped out of the top two in recent weeks, but they will move into a clear second if they win their game in hand tonight, and at home to Rayo Vallecano, I fully expect them to do so.
Míchel's high-flyers need to put a pair of defeats behind them, but they both came away from home, against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.
They return to calmer waters this evening, as they are at home where they are unbeaten in eight - six wins - against a side who are winless in six - losing on four occasions.
