The first leg ended Lazio-AZ 1-1. All is set for the decider in this Europa Conference League Round of 16 fixture!
These teams have little in common geographically as Lazio have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both participants have had ample time to rest since their previous match. Let's agree to expect an animated game!
