The first leg of these two teams was an up and down for everyone involved. First, the Italians took the lead through the lively Zaccagni.

Lazio: form & record check
The Romans of Lazio are currently anything but smooth. Starting with the first leg of the Europa League intermediate round. There they had to travel to Portugal to play against FC Porto. After an early lead and great joy, the disappointment came when they went home with a 2-1 defeat. Of course, that's far too little for the club's internal requirements. Even at the weekend in the domestic Serie A, the fans were not happy. In the guest match against Udinese Calcio it was only enough for a 1:1 draw, which means that they are still not in a Champions League or Europa League place in the table.

For Thursday night, however, it is also clear that a draw in the second leg against FC Porto will not be enough, as the first leg ended 2-1 for the Portuguese. The team coached by Maurizio Sarri has to play for a win in front of their home crowd and increasingly take risks as the game progresses. This constellation is a first argument to the effect that tips on over-goals appear interesting between Lazio Rome and Porto.

However, the starting position is completely different next Thursday, so we expect a goal-rich encounter. Another aspect is the potential return of star attacker Ciro Immobile, who recently missed two games injured. There is also hope for his comeback. Zaccagni, Pedro, Acerbi and Lazzari will definitely be missing.

Last year without a championship hurt FC Porto a lot. So they have a lot planned for this season. So far they have met those expectations. In the domestic Portuguese league they are at the top of the table and they have done very well in their Champions League group. Although Benfica and Sporting are still represented in the premier class, Porto are the only Portuguese team with a realistic chance of winning the title in their competition. The first leg of the second round against Lazio also gives every reason to be happy. There they were able to win 2:1, which gives them a big advantage. Now they only have to defend this lead.

If we go by the names, FC Porto is by no means one of the biggest favorites to win the Europa League. But the names are often deceptive. For example, FC Barcelona has not been what it used to be for a long time. In addition, neither BVB nor Leipzig were really able to convince. Therefore, FC Porto can certainly dream of the title. The chance is definitely there.

Nevertheless, Keeper Marchesin conceded at least one goal in six of the last eight league games. However, the port city-dwellers even scored two or more goals in eight of the last ten matches at national level. In just over 20% of all competitive games, a bet on the Under 2.5 would have paid off. With the exception of ex-Leverkusener Wendell, who is still suspended, everyone is probably on board. The goalkeeper mentioned can also get involved again on the European stage after being sent off in the last CL group game.
