Apollon rose from the qualification process and have already played eight Europa League matches ahead of their opening Group H game out in Italy and they will be hoping for a fine starts to their group campaign after opening the qualifiers wioth defeat and going on to lose two more. They meet a Lazio side that did fairly well in last season's competition only falling out in the latter stages after being shocked by Salzburg and will be more ambitious this season, especially after missing by a close shave the Champions League spot in Serie A. the 4 - 1 defeat at the hands of Salzburg last season came as a shock and it is their only loss so far in the last five Europa League matches while they have scored two goals or more in four of their last five Europa League games b ut they have just one clean sheet in their last eight Europa League matches. They have gone unbeaten in six home matches in the Europa League, scoring in each of those but managing just two clean sheets. Their last three home matches in the competition have produced 11 goals. Apollon saw off Swiss giants Basel to make it to this level after overturning a 2 - 3 away loss and Lazio, from  their experience against Salzburg last season, will want to kill this tie early enough. Apollon have also started their domestic campaign well and after a 5 - 1 win there, they will head here high in confidence. Apollon have managed just five wins in their last 15 Europa League matches with just three clean sheets in the process. Away from home they have just five wins in the last 25 matches in the competition. In the 25 away matches, they have 17 defeats and just three clean sheets. none of the clean sheets have come in the last 12 away matches in the Europa League.
