Stats before the game.    Porto have not won any of their last nine away matches in UEFA competition in Italy (3D, 6L, qualifying excluded); the latest victory came 3-2 against Milan in the 1996/97 Champions League group stage, a match in which current Portuguese coach Sérgio Conceição played. Lazio, defeated in the first leg by a score of 2-1, have never conceded a goal in two straight games this season in the Europa League (five goals conceded in seven games so far).  The first leg was the fifth occasion in which Lazio lost the first leg of a major European challenge by just one away goal (excluding qualifiers) – in three of the four previous occasions they still managed to qualify, the most recent in 2017/18 in the Europa League against FCSB.
