The Champions League match between Lazio and Feyenoord will take place at Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday at 1:30 am IST.
In the Champions League Group E, there’s a tight race at the top with just a two-point difference between the leading three teams. Lazio, currently in third place, will host the group leaders, Feyenoord, on Tuesday. Lazio is aiming for revenge after their 3-1 loss to Feyenoord last month at De Kuip. A win in this upcoming match would propel Lazio to the top of the group, surpassing the Dutch champions in the standings.
Lazio’s season has been inconsistent, as they suffered a defeat against Feyenoord two weeks ago, falling behind by two goals before scoring a late consolation from a penalty by Pedro. Prior to this setback, they had shown promise with three consecutive Serie A wins, but their momentum ended with a 1-0 loss to Bologna. Lazio aims to recover against Feyenoord, who they have beaten only once in their last six encounters. They hope to secure a spot in the next stage of the competition after earning four points in their first two Group E matches, with a history of scoring but struggling to keep clean sheets in the Champions League.
Feyenoord has faced challenges in their recent away games against Serie A teams, losing twice in the Europa League last season, including defeats to Lazio and Roma. Despite this, they currently lead Group E in the Champions League and are considered favorites by some experts. They have been in excellent form, winning ten of their last 12 matches and maintaining a strong domestic title defense. Although they suffered a lone Champions League loss to Atletico, Feyenoord is well-positioned to advance past the group stage for the first time in their history. Their attack, led by Santiago Gimenez, has been potent, averaging over three goals per game in domestic play.
Lazio probable starting lineup: Provedel, Lazzari, Patric, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Guendouzi, Rovella, Alberto, Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
Feyenoord probable starting lineup: Bijlow, Nieuwkoop, Geertruida, Hancko, Hartman, Zerrouki, Timber, Paixao, Stengs, Ivanusec, Gimenez
