Champions LeaguePortoLazio

Lazio and Porto are among the hidden favorites for triumph in the Europa League. The intrigue for the rematch remains, as the Dragons only got a fragile lead in their home. The Eagles have something to regret about their visit to Portugal, as they came out ahead in the result and made a complete turnaround. However, he deserved it, as Porto was the better team on the field.

Lazio did not do well on Sunday, when they fell behind with a goal as a guest of Udinese, but managed to save the point in the final 1: 1. He didn't seem to be in very good shape for the Eagles, who won in regular time in only three of their ten official matches in the new year. However, there has been progress in defensive action, as five dry nets have been maintained during this period.

Porto is enjoying a great season, which will most likely end with a title in the Portuguese elite. Over the weekend, Moreirenze was defeated 1-0, with a six-point lead over Sporting Lisbon. The Dragons have not won just once since December 7, when they lost 1-3 in a direct clash with Atletico Madrid to advance to the Champions League.

Maurizio Sari has serious problems in attack. Ciro Imobile is still ill and Pedro left the match with Udinese injured. The winger on the other side and goal scorer from the first match Matthias Zacani was punished for accumulating cards. The personnel problems for Porto are significantly smaller, and the team will be able to come out on the field with exactly the same lineup from the first meeting.

The Dragons were better a week ago and I think those absent for the hosts will tip the scales in their favor. In the autumn, Lazio won only one of their three home games in the tournament, while Porto ended in a draw as a guest of Milan and Atletico Madrid. I suspect that the guests will be able to perfectly preserve their goal lead and we will not become the desired goal spectacle.
