The two teams played their European away games on the same day in midweek, with the Zilpia going north to Scotland for a 3-0 defeat, and visiting their near neighbors for a 0-0 draw against Graz Storm. From the midweek European performance, Lazio is still disappointing, the team played the first half of the breathless, almost no shot on goal, although the second half has improved, miss some scoring opportunities, but ultimately failed to break the deadlock. In the past 4 years, Lazio has won only 2 out of 16 away matches in Europe, which has become a problem for the team. Not to mention the last cup
On the road, the team even lost 5 straight to teams.
For that matter, although the team's league and European home this season are undefeated, but the current 9 points is still behind Lazio's 17 points too much, and the Blue Eagles only lost to the leaders in the league, this game if you win can be among the region and continue to keep up with the top teams. Therefore, in terms of the results of the fixed gear, the purple pepsi is still relatively weak. In addition, the Zurich skipper Italiano took charge of the team last season, and lost twice against Lazio, psychologically also out of the downside.
Personnel, Fiorentina has more injury problems than the Blue Eagles, winger Sottile and center back Igor are absent from the main, while Lazio's main lineup is still relatively complete. However, the midweek European war, Lazio rotation amplitude is not enough, Inmobili, Alberto, Milinkovic, Di these absolute main force are starting to play. In addition, Milinkovic's contract expires in 2024, although the player himself never said he wanted to leave Lazio, but this time there are some teams began to try to sign the midfielder. In the midweek European game, Lazio had zero shots on goal in the half, and Milin's performance was a bit distracted, these are not too good signs.
