In home matches, the Portuguese players impose a high tempo on opponents and force them into mistakes near their own goal. In the upcoming game, the hosts will need to maintain discipline in midfield and be careful in converting the chances they create.

Scotland's Celtic lost to Ferencváros 1-3 in the first round of the Europa League, running into serious problems containing the opponent's attacks.

In Lisbon, the visitors need to withstand the opponent's opening onslaught and improve their reliability in their own penalty area in order to fight for their first points in the European competition.
