Player to watch – Valentín Castellanos
Valentín Castellanos has completed just 137 minutes in the Europa League this season, though the Argentinean attacker still managed to score two goals in his limited appearances on the continent.
Castellanos is a sharp finisher
Castellanos failed to score against Cagliari at the weekend, though he bagged a brace in his last runout for Lazio against Como before that and the 26-year-old has the talent to take another chance if one falls his way against Porto.
