The Wolves are predictably leading in Quartet A. The Roman team has already secured a place in the playoffs. It remains to gain a foothold in the first position. In the away match against the Young Boys, Paulo Fonseca’s men achieved a strong-willed victory (2:1). In three other matches the team beat Cluj twice (2:0 and 5:0) and also shared points with CSKA Sofia (0:0). In the Italian championship Roma dropped out of the top four after a major defeat to Napoli (0:4). Smalling, Pastor, Boer and Zagnolo are in the hosts’ infirmary.
Lazio has serious problems in Serie A. Nine rounds have already been played and Simone Inzaghi’s team cannot rise above the ninth line in the table. The Eagles are only three points behind the Champions League zone, so they will still have the opportunity to correct the situation. In the last round Lazio lost 1:3 to Udinese, thus ending a streak of eight unbeaten matches. In the Champions League Lazio have already practically resolved the issue of reaching the playoffs. They are second in the group with eight points, but the third, Club Brugge, are already four points ahead.
