Lazio must cope without Ciro Immobile in their away clash at Porto, while Atalanta will look to Luis Muriel against Kostas Manolas’ Olympiacos.
Both games begin at 20.00 UK time. Maurizio Sarri will replace Immobile with Felipe Anderson, with the Brazilian playing as a false nine. Francesco Acerbi and Manuel Lazzari are injured.
The Biancocelesti lost two of their four games played without Immobile this term, failing to score in both losses. The Italy international has scored 23 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions this season. Lazio have lost four of their five European fixtures in Portugal.
Probable line-ups – Porto vs. Lazio
Porto (4-4-2): Diogo Costa; Joao Mario, Pepe, Mbemba, Zaidu; Otavio, Uribe, Vitinha, Galeno; Favio Vieira, Evanilson.
Lazio (4-3-3): Strakosha; Hysaj, Luiz Felipe, Radu, Marusic; Milinkovic-Savic, Leiva, Luis Alberto; Pedro, Felipe Anderson, Zaccagni.
Atalanta must do without José Luis Palomino, Aleksey Miranchuk, Josip Ilicic and Duvan Zapata. Juan Musso returns between the sticks after missing the last Serie A match against Juventus due to a suspension.
The main doubts for Gian Piero Gasperini are in midfield (Remo Freuler or Teun Koopmeiners), left-back (Giuseppe Pezzella or Davide Zappacosta) and in attack (Mario Pasalic or Matteo Pessina).
Former Napoli and Roma defender Manolas will start at the back for the Greeks.
Probable line-ups: Atalanta vs. Olympiacos
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Musso; Toloi, Demiral, Djimsiti; Maehle, De Roon, Freuler, Pezzella; Malinovskyi, Muriel, Pasalic.
Olympiacos (3-4-3): Vaclik; Sokratis, Manolas, Cisse; Lala, Bouchalakis, M’Villa, Reabciuk; Masouras, El Arabi, Camara.
Atalanta will go through, Napoli have a 50% chance over two legs versus Barca, while Lazio have no chance against Porto at all.
”Milan fan” i guess this is because your team got rekt by Porto in cl?
No it’s just my opinion. I have watched both Porto and Lazio a lot recently. I might be wrong though, we’ll see.
How exactly did Milan get wrecked by the way? lol you don’t know the meaning of the word.
