Bayer Leverkusen Coach Roger Schmidt doesn’t expect Lazio to play ‘typically Italian football’ when the sides meet tomorrow.

“Lazio are good tactically,” the tactician explained in his pre-match Press conference.
“They play well, they always give a good performance. They’re a good team, who are well-organised with dangerous players. I don’t know [Coach Stefano] Piolo personally, but I know his team.
“I like the way they play, they were successful last year, we all saw that. I don’t know him, but I’ve seen his team.
“They have to qualify, so they’ll definitely be attacking. They won’t play typically Italian football, but I think they’ll play a good game.
“I don’t think we’re favourites, Lazio are a very good team. I wouldn’t say we’re favourites.”
