Reason for Lazio vs Atletico Madrid Predictions
Lazio enter this year’s Champions League competition after an excellent finish in Serie A last season, finishing second in the table just behind Napoli. However, this season they are a little weaker, several important players have left the club, but they are still an experienced and quality team. Last weekend they lost 3:1 to Juventus in the derby match. The Romans continued with a bad series of results, in Serie A and the third defeat in 4 matches so far. In the group with Atletico Madrid, Feyenoord and Celtic certainly have a chance for one of the first two places. Daichi Kamada plays perfectly without a mistake, he is strong, and it is not easy for this guy to take the ball away, and many clubs are interested in his arrival. Ciro Immobile scored 12 goals last season, he was injured for a long time, and many goals are expected in the new season, fans adore him. Looking at the squad, there is only one fitness concern that Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri can deal with from an almost fully healthy squad. Cristiano Lombardi (Unknown injury) is out of the competition.
At the weekend, Atletico Madrid was convincingly defeated 3:0 away from Valencia. Perhaps that defeat will not surprise the fans given the number of important players absent. Before that, they played solid games and won 7 points from 3 matches played. Atletico Madrid are tipped to be the early favorites to top the group, but they can’t be too sure next to teams like Lazio and Feyenoord who will try to take advantage of every opportunity they get. Antoine Griezmann enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy. Diego Simeone seeks responsibility in every game, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is, the players have to do their best, which is why he is one of the best coaches in the world. With a completely healthy squad to pick from, Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has zero fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this game.
