The UEFA Champions League match between Lazio and Celtic will take place at Stadio Olimpico Tour on Tuesday at 11:15 pm IST.
Lazio has the opportunity to secure advancement to the Champions League knockout stages with a victory in their upcoming home match against Celtic. In contrast, the Scottish champions are facing the likelihood of an early elimination, having accumulated only one point from their four group-stage matches.
Lazio enters Tuesday’s match on a disappointing note, having surrendered a halftime lead to lose 2-1 to Salernitana over the weekend. Maurizio Sarri’s team now sits in 10th place in Serie A with 17 points from 13 matches. Despite their domestic struggles, Lazio is on the verge of reaching the Champions League knockout stages, having gathered seven points from four group matches. Ciro Immobile’s spot kick had given them a lead, but Salernitana mounted a comeback, with Antonio Candreva scoring the decisive goal. Lazio, currently on a three-match winless streak in Serie A, aims to capitalize on their Champions League form, needing a home victory on Tuesday to potentially secure a spot in the last 16, contingent on Feyenoord’s result against Atletico.
Celtic’s chances of advancing to the Champions League knockout stages are hanging by a thread after failing to secure a win in their four group games. Starting with consecutive defeats to Feyenoord and Lazio, they managed a draw against Atletico Madrid at Celtic Park but suffered a heavy 6-0 loss in the return leg. The Bhoys are now on a 14-game winless streak in Champions League group stages since September 2017. Positioned at the bottom of Group E, Celtic faces a significant challenge, trailing six points behind second-placed Lazio and five points behind third-placed Feyenoord. Despite maintaining an unbeaten league record, their recent 1-1 draw with Motherwell provides little encouragement. However, Celtic can draw inspiration from their 2019 trip to the Stadio Olimpico when they secured a 2-1 victory over Lazio in the Europa League group stage.
Lazio probable starting lineup: Provedel, Lazzari, Patric, Gila, Marusic, Geundouzi, Cataldi, Alberto, Anderson, Zaccagni, Immobile
Celtic probable starting lineup: Hart, A. Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, O’Riley, McGregor, Turnbull, Yang, M. Johnston, Furuhashi
