Lazio vs. Celtic Prediction: the Romans seek to secure qualification

We leave you the forecast for the match between Lazio and Celtic that will be held this November 28 on the occasion of the fifth round of the Champions League. We are going to tell you under what conditions the rivals arrive at the match and then suggest several betting options.

Lazio

For Lazio, the current season is very difficult. Suffice it to say that, in the last Serie A campaign, the Romans were proclaimed runners-up in the country, but now they occupy 11th position in the standings. Maurizio Sarri’s men have lost many points at the end of matchday 13, so it will be extremely difficult for them to intervene in the fight for the top spots in the national championship. They only have to count on a good performance in the Champions League, where the “celestes” have every chance of qualifying for the next phase. The Italians have added 7 of the 12 possible points in their first four games, which is enough for them to be second in Group E, but the fight for the 1/8 final is still ahead.

Celtic

Celtic is the only team in Group E that has already lost almost all its chances of continuing to fight in the Champions League. The absolute dominance in the domestic sphere has caused, on a more serious level, the “green and white” to be outsiders, suffering one defeat after another. It all started for the Scots with two defeats in the battles against Feyenoord and Lazio (0:2 and 1:2, respectively). Then, unexpectedly, they managed to rescue a point in the battle against Atlético – 2:2, but fifteen days later, Brendan Rodgers’ men regretted having upset the “colchoneros”, losing 0:6. With one point, the Scots occupy the last place in Group E, five points behind their closest rivals.
