Lazio Aims to Maintain Perfect Europa League Record Against Porto

Lazio is set to host Porto at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday, November 7, 2024, in a crucial Europa League match. The Italian side is determined to maintain their flawless record in the competition, having won all three of their previous matches.

Marco Baroni’s Lazio will field a strong lineup, with Christos Mandas likely to start in goal, replacing Ivan Provedel. The defense will be anchored by Samuel Gigot and Alessio Romagnoli in the center, with Adam Marusic on the right and Nuno Tavares, who returns after a one-match ban in Serie A, on the left.

In midfield, Matteo Guendouzi and Matias Vecino are expected to form the double-pivot, while Taty Castellanos will lead the attack supported by Loum Tchaouna, Pedro, and club captain Mattia Zaccagni, who has recovered from an illness.

Porto, under Vitor Bruno, will be without key players Ivan Marcano, Wendell, and Marko Grujic due to injuries. The Portuguese team is likely to start with Diogo Costa in goal and a backline consisting of Martim Fernandes, Nehuen Perez, Tiago Djalo, and Francisco Moura. Samu Omorodion, who has been in stellar form with four goals in three Europa League matches, will spearhead the attack.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 3:00 pm ET/ 12:00 pm PT for fans in the US and will be available to watch and stream online through various platforms including Paramount+, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, and CBS Sports Network.
