On the 24th of February, Lazio will host Porto in a clash of the Europa League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Lazio recorded a 1-1 draw against Udinese. Gerard Deulofeu struck first for Udinese in the 5th minute on a feed from Nehuén Pérez, then Felipe Anderson tied it up for Lazio in the 45th minute on a feed from Mattia Zaccagni earning them at least the one point. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Lazio should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in Porto’s last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Moreirense. Evanilson struck first for Porto in the 40th minute on a feed from Mehdi Taremi, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Moreirense was frustrated by Porto’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Porto ended the match with the shutout victory. Porto is on a hot streak lately, having won 9 of their last 10 matches.
