Lazio have a mountain to climb if they are to reach the Europa League semi-final, so start Taty Castellanos and Mattia Zaccagni against Bodo/Glimt.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Fiorentina vs. Celje on the Liveblog.

Whoever goes through here will face either Tottenham Hotspur or Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-final.

The Aquile topped the big group table in the opening phase of this tournament, but their form has been stuttering lately both in Europe and domestically.

That culminated in a 2-0 first leg defeat in the cold on an artificial pitch in Norway last week, so turning around this big a deficit is something they’ve never achieved before in UEFA competition.

Patric is still out of action, but Nuno Tavares is fit enough for a spot on the bench after missing Sunday’s 1-1 derby draw with Roma, while Castellanos returns to the starting XI.

Pedro is preferred to Boulaye Dia in support, with Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen.

Christos Mandas now seems to have taken over from Ivan Provedel as first choice goalkeeper.

Bodo/Glimt are hoping to become the first ever Norwegian side to reach the semi-finals of a UEFA men’s competition.

However, the last time they won the quarter-final first leg against an Italian side was Roma in the 2020-21 Conference League, losing 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.

The danger man in the first leg was Ulrik Saltnes, who scored both goals in the second half.

Kasper Høgh has scored seven goals in 11 Europa League games this season, while Jens Petter Hauge is a familiar face from his time at Milan.
