Europa League line-ups: Viktoria Plzen vs. Lazio | OneFootball

Lazio start Tijjani Noslin, Pedro, Boulaye Dia and Gustav Isaksen for the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 against Viktoria Plzen.

It kicks off at the Stadion Mesta Plzne at 20.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Roma-Athletic Club and Panathinaikos-Fiorentina on the Liveblog.

The second leg is at the Stadio Olimpico next Thursday evening.

The Aquile topped the table in the league phase and were therefore top seeds in the draw, while they are fresh off a thrilling 2-1 Serie A victory over Milan.

That was sealed with a last-gasp Pedro penalty won by Isaksen, and they both start tonight with Noslin taking over as centre-forward.

Taty Castellanos, Mattia Zaccagni, Elseid Hysaj and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru did not make the trip to Plzen.
