Lazio have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against Midtjylland. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

These teams have little in common geographically as Lazio have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Lazio form and stats

Lazio was sent out of Europa League in the knockout round play-offs last season, when Porto turned out to be too strong.

Things could have gone better for Lazio in their Serie A away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.

Before that game, the victory at home against Feyenoord in the Europa League (4-2).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Cremonese.

It's early days yet, but Lazio has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
