Lazio vs Atletico Madrid Prediction 19.09.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: 19.09.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

Lazio enters this year's Champions League competition after an excellent placement in Serie A last season and 2nd place in the table, just behind Napoli. They are weaker for a couple of important players this season, but it is still a very experienced and quality team. Last weekend, in one of the championship derbies, they lost against Juventus 3-1 in Turin. Thus, the Romans continued with bad results in Serie A and the third defeat in 4 matches played so far. In the group with Atletico Madrid, Feyenoord and Celtic certainly have a chance to reach one of the first two places.

Atletico Madrid was convincingly defeated in the LaLiga match against Valencia, 3-0 at the Mestalla. Maybe that's not too surprising considering the large number of absent players from the club from Madrid. Before that, they played quite solidly in the championship and took 7 points from 3 matches played. In this Champions League group, Atletico Madrid is the favorite according to many parameters, but they cannot be too sure next to teams like Lazio and Feyenoord who will try to take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way.

Lazio vs Atletico Madrid pick: LAZIO TO COVER AH 0

Although this is a very difficult match for predicting the winner, some things could turn the tide on the scales, which at the beginning of the season was definitely on the side of Atletico Madrid. Circumstances are changing, so an incomplete Atletico will be significantly weaker. In the team news, you can read about all the absences of the Spanish team, and Lazio will certainly try with all their might to take advantage of the guests' weaknesses. We expect a tough match with 1 or 2 goals in which Lazio will be closer to victory, but it is much safer to go with a bet on the Asian Handicap 0 market. In this case, a draw returns the bet.
