Match Stats

Lazio:

Lazio are in a strong position to advance to the quarter-finals after a dramatic 2-1 win in the first leg, despite finishing with only nine men on the pitch. The Biancocelesti have shown remarkable resilience, becoming the first team in Europa League history to win with nine men. They will be confident heading into the second leg at home, where they have an unbeaten record in their last 12 Europa League matches. However, their history in two-legged knockout ties has been inconsistent, winning only one of their last seven such ties. With a crucial Serie A race for the Champions League spot also on their mind, Lazio cannot afford to take anything for granted. A solid performance in front of their home fans will ensure they complete the job.


Viktoria Plzen:

Viktoria Plzen face a monumental challenge, needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit in Rome. Despite showing grit in the first leg, they failed to capitalize on a two-man advantage, and now must secure their first-ever away win in the knockout stages of the Europa League since 2014. Their record in Italy is poor, with five losses in their last six visits, and their recent form in both domestic and European competitions has been patchy. A goalless draw in the Czech league last weekend has left them 12 points off the top, and they will need a near-perfect performance to pull off a comeback in this tie. History is not on their side, but their European pedigree and determination could provide a glimmer of hope.
