Lazio to Win
Porto has earned seven away wins in succession and will be confident about their chances against Lazio after taking the lead in the first-leg. The Romans will be concerned but not very much as they are unbeaten in their last seven home affairs. They opened the scoring against the Portuguese outfit last time out and starting brightly again will be key to their success.
Over 2.5 Goals
Except for their recent 1-1 away draw to Udinese in the Serie A, Lazio had seen their prior four competitive fixtures conclude with Over 2.5 total goals. Porto has been in rich goalscoring form with 1o of their last 12 fixtures finishing similarly. With three of their last four meetings with Porto concluding in this manner, we are expecting both sides to deliver a high scoring affair.
Both Teams to Score: Yes
Basing out inspiration on past performances, if we are to have a high scoring affair, both sides will have to disturb the net. Their two high scoring affairs saw both goalkeepers in action and this will be the case in the Thursday night affair. Both sides enter this fixture with two of their last three outings seeing goalscorers from either side of the aisle. This should be the case again as they exchanged blows with each other from the get-go.
Lazio vs Porto Fixture Preview
Lazio
Maurizio Sarri is taking his time to implement his footballing principles. Adapting to Sarri-ball was always going to be difficult but they stand just four points away from Champions League slots and have a good chance of realizing it. As it stands, the Romans will be focusing on Porto, who defeated them in the first leg despite accruing the lead. Mattia Zaccagni scored their only goal in Porto and will want help from the strikeforce in the return leg.
FC Porto
While Lazio could only manage a 1-1 draw in Serie A, Porto continued their winning form. They are now unbeaten in 14 fixtures, winning on 13 occasions. The Dragons followed their first-leg win with an astute 0-1 away win, which should help them on their trip to Rome. With Luis Diaz and Mehdi Taremi in bristling form, expect them to be confident in their abilities against them.
