The top spot in Group E is up for grabs as Atletico Madrid host Lazio in the Champions League. This matchday six will be played at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid on Wednesday. The hosts are top of the standings with 11 points while Lazio are second with 10 points. Both teams are already assured qualification and Atletico need to avoid defeat to keep the top spot while Lazio need a win. Atletico started their campaign in the Champions League this season with a 1-1 draw against Lazio on matchday one. It could have been more but for a late goal from Provedel that stole a point. Nevertheless, they remained unbeaten hence, winning three and drawing one of the Champions League games. They are even in cracking scoring form netting nine goals in their last two matches. Even the overall form is on the rise with five wins across their last six competitive games.

Lazio need a win to stay in contention for the top spot as they have three wins and a loss apart from the draw against Atletico from matchday one. They are coming off consecutive wins in the Champions League, which helped assuage the hurt of a 3-1 loss at Feyenoord. The Serie A side has drawn 1-1 with Verona in the domestic league game over the weekend, extending their mini-unbeaten sequence to four games. While that would give them enough confidence to remain in the hunt for a win here, is to be seen. Unfortunately for the visitors, their away form has given them away many times in the season. They have drawn one and lost three of their last four away games throwing questions over their chances here.
