Lazio vs Porto. Who will reach the 1/8 finals of the Europa League?
On Thursday, February 24, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Lazio will face Porto.
1.5 weeks ago, the Eagles crashed out of the Coppa Italia, losing to Milan in the 1/4 finals with a score of 0-4. As for the championship, things are going uphill there: in the last 9 rounds they have suffered only one defeat and conceded only one goal in the last five matches. In the standings, the Ssari team occupies the sixth line, and only 4 points separate it from the TOP-4.
In the playoffs of the Europa League, Lazio came out from second place in Group E, having suffered one defeat in 6 matches.
Porto
"Dragons" are fighting on three fronts. In the Portuguese Cup, they have already reached the semi-finals, and in the championship they go without defeat, allowing only three misfires in 23 rounds. One of them happened 1.5 weeks ago in a home game against Sporting: 2-2. We note that the team of Conceição was losing 0-2, but found the strength to recoup. In the last match, Moreirense was beaten away (1-0) thanks to Evanilson's goal at the end of the first half. In the standings, Porto is confidently leading, ahead of the nearest pursuer (still the same Sporting) by 6 points.
In the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, the "dragons" got from the Champions League, where they took 3rd place in group "B", gaining 5 points. With rivals you will not envy: Liverpool, Atlético and Milan.
An interesting confrontation, because both teams are in good shape, and their first meeting took place in an interesting fight with a slight advantage of the "dragons". In Rome, Lazio will be closer to victory, which is very strong at home, so here you can safely bet on "Lazio with Handicap (0)" for 1.69. Considering that the opponents are equal and worthy of each other, and the “eagles” concede little at home, that is, there is a reason to take “1X + Total Under (3.5)” for 1.97.
