17th February 2022 – 21:00, Estádio do Dragão, Porto
Porto will host Lazio in the first leg of the Europa League First Knockout Round. The home side wants to continue its excellent run and secure the advantage on the home ground. On the other hand, the visitors look forward to going far in this competition and taking a positive result here.
Porto Preview & Team News
Porto heads into this match, coming off the back of a 2:2 Primeira Liga draw against Sporting Lisbon. Nevertheless, the hosts stayed six points clear of the Lions. Porto has been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, netting in each and every one of their last six matches. They’ve totted up the amount of 16 during that time while also conceding a total of 7. Still, time will tell if that pattern will persist in this game or not. The Dragons failed to continue their Champions League campaign, and they finished third in the group stage behind Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. Regarding the selection status, Fernando Andrade (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Wilson Manafá (Patella rupture) won’t be available for Porto boss Sérgio Conceição.
Lazio Preview & Team News
Lazio will enter the match after winning 3-0 against Bologna in their latest Serie A game. Biancocelesti are sixth in the Calcio, being only four points behind Juventus. A succession of effective showings by the Lazio defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to four from their previous six clashes combined. Over that same period, the number of goals they have scored themselves is ten. Despite losing just once in the group stage, Lazio finished behind Galatasaray and two points ahead of Marseille. Maurizio Sarri’s team has a tough task in this tie, but they want to go further in this competition.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Porto has been excellent this season, and they are the only undefeated team in the Primeira Liga. Although Lazio is always a tricky opponent, no matter if they play on the road, we believe the hosts will meet expectations and secure the advantage at their ground.
Goals Market Prediction
The home side’s defense hasn’t been too tight lately, as they kept the clean sheet only once on the previous eight occasions. On the other hand, Biancocelesti have significant attacking potential, and we should see both teams scoring in this one.
