I wonder why not more people are looking to teams like Lazio. They had some bad games too, but still look far more stable than Manchester United in my opinion.

They are one of the favorites for sure.
Lazio and Athletic Bilbao are two of the strongest teams in the league. Manchester United and Tottenham didn't perform like them. In the end it's still in group stage so don't come to conclusions easily. As long as they advance to quarter final there will be no problem.

Indeed, Lazio and Bilbao are stable teams in the current title hunt, only conceding a few goals and never losing at all from 6 matches makes them occupy the top position in the standings, they are certain to enter the next phase, but Tottenham and Man Utd also cannot be ruled out just like that. These 4 teams are strong candidates, I agree that for now we should not rush to guess, the journey is still long and consistency is needed here, but I hope there will be a surprise from another team to make the European league more interesting.

It seems that this Italian club is really focused on the Europa League rather than Serie A, even though they lost in the Serie A match, but in the Europa League they are really consistent with Bilbao, both have the same points, namely 16 points, but only a few differences make Lazio at the top of the Europa League standings, Tottenham and Man United are still relatively safe, but Anderlecht and Galatasaray must be aware that they can displace Lazio and Bilbao, Lyon and Eintracht Frankfrut are also likely to be able to compete with other big clubs.

Italian has two representative they are Lazio and Roma but Roma still struggle to improved their position on League standing and for Lazio they have good chances to qualified but all they have to do is at least get 1 point from Sociedad for 7th matches later and if they are able to do that then Lazio can directly qualify for the round of 16

But a little worried about their performance in Serie A because last month Lazio suffered several defeats and even the latest lost the Derby match against Roma so i hope this defeat does not have an impact on Lazio's performance later in this competition because basically Lazio's chances of going to the next round are very wide open
