The season of Italian Ciro Immobile has been spectacular, both in Serie A and in the Europa League.

Despite having no goals so far in this competition, he has a couple of assists and has generated great offensive plays for his team. 

Nigerian Emanuel Emegha is the player who keeps Sturm alive in the competition, as he scored the team's only goal so far. 
It was also the goal that gave them the victory in the first matchday where they got the three points they have at the moment. 

Despite having started well in the Europa League, Lazio is coming off a loss against Midtjylland of Denmark. The team defeated them with an important score of 5-1.

Despite their good momentum in the Austrian Cup, the home side are coming off an impressive 6-0 drubbing against Feyenoord in the Europa League and will be looking to turn that around today.

The Sturm vs Lazio match will be played at the UPC Arena in Graz, Austria with a capacity of 15,400 people.

The also called Stadion Graz-Liebenau or Merkur Arena for sponsorship reasons is the main soccer stadium in the city of Graz. 

It was built on the site of the former Bundesstadion Graz-Liebenau and is currently used by local clubs SK Sturm Graz and Grazer AK.
