Match background and previous meetings
- Already through to the UEFA Europa League knockout phase, Lazio and Galatasaray face off in Rome for the right to proceed directly into the round of 16 as winners of Group E.
- Both clubs posted resounding victories on Matchday 5, Lazio winning 3-0 at Lokomotiv Moskva thanks to two Ciro Immobile penalties and a late third goal from Pedro, while Galatasaray remained unbeaten on top of the table after a 4-2 defeat of Marseille in Istanbul, scoring more goals in that one game than in their first four Group E fixtures combined.
- With 11 points on the board, three more than their Matchday 6 hosts, Galatasaray will remain in first place if they avoid defeat at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio will finish first if they win.
Galatasaray won the Matchday 1 encounter in Istanbul 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.
- The clubs first met in the opening group stage of the 2001-02 UEFA Champions League, when they traded 1-0 home wins, but Galatasaray, with ten points, progressed to the second group stage while Lazio, with six, went out. The only other encounters came in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League round of 32, where the Italian side, led by Stefano Pioli, triumphed 4-2 on aggregate against Mustafa Denizli’s Galatasaray (4-1 on aggregate).
- The Matchday 1 defeat was the only third Lazio have suffered in 15 UEFA matches against Turkish teams. They have yet to lose at home (four wins and three draws), though that 3-1 win against Galatasaray in 2016 ended a run of three successive draws against Süper Lig visitors.
- Cimbom’s overall record against Italian clubs is now eight wins, nine draws and eight losses, but none of those victories have come on Italian soil, where their record is five draws and seven losses.
