Europa League: Lazio and Roma on the pitch tonight for the return of the round of 16.

In the Europa League, it will be up to Lazio and Roma to defend the advantages of the last minutes acquired in the first leg matches. In the return matches of the round of 16, the two teams from the Capital will only need to not lose to reach the quarterfinals.

Towards Lazio-Viktoria Plzen

The first leg had been a game full of twists and turns. The Biancocelesti's first-half lead by Romagnoli had been answered by the Czechs' equaliser in the second half. The situation for Lazio had been complicated first by the expulsion of Rovella, then by that of Gigot in injury time. For the team of Baroni it seemed complicated to be able to defend the draw with nine men. At the last second, however, a pearl by Isaksen gave a sensational victory for how it happened. Tonight the Biancocelesti are called to defend in front of their fans the feat accomplished in Plzen. Zaccagni, Isaksen and Dia are ready in the three-quarter line, while the only striker will be Noslin. For Viktoria Plzen coached by Koubek, Vydra and Sulc are ready to support Durosinmi who will act as a lone striker.

Whichever team advances to the next round will face the winner of Bodo Glimt-Olympiacos in the quarter-finals.
