After a mild start to the campaign, Lazio have been truly hitting their stride under Marco Baroni over the past few weeks. The Biancocelesti have now registered eight wins in their last nine outings across all competitions, only losing at the hands of Juventus after being reduced to 10 men.
The Italian capital side is leading the Europa League table after winning the first three fixtures against Dynamo Kyiv, OGC Nice and FC Twente, accumulating nine points and an impressive +8 goal difference. The sky seems to be the limit for the Aquile, but they’ll be hoping to avoid a negative result in their toughest European test thus far this season.
Aside from a defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals Sporting Lisbon, Porto have been flawless domestically, winning all of their nine other outings. However, the Dragao started their European campaign on a slow note, succumbing to a surprising defeat at the hands of Bodo/Glimt.
The Portuguese giants then settled for a single point on the back of a thrilling contest against Manchester United that ended 3-3, before earning their maiden Europa League victory of the season by beating Hoffenheim. Vitor Bruno’s men thus sit 15th in the standings with four points in the bag.
