Celtic - Lazio: Form Analysis
Celtic were defeated 2-0 away to Feyenoord on Match Day 1. They will now seek to respond with a win and their impressive form at home will have them confident of doing just that. The Scottish heavyweights haven’t lost at home since a 2-0 defeat by RB Leipzig last October. They have won 18 of the 22 matches as hosts since then. Brendan Rogers’ men however haven’t played at Celtic Park for almost three weeks as they have been away for their last three fixtures. The Bhoys were 2-1 winners away to Motherwell to maintain their unbeaten start in the league and extended their lead at the top. They have now won four of their last five matches. Celtic defeated Lazio both home and away four years ago in the Europa League.
Lazio were unfortunate not to make a winning start to their Champions League return on matchday one. Maurizio Sarri’s men scored a stoppage-time equalizer to salvage a point at home in a one-all draw with Atletico Madrid. The struggles in that game shed light on how the season has been for the Eagles. Lazio haven’t been anywhere close to the form that allowed them finish second in the Serie A last season. They have won only two of their eight matches this season and have lost four times including last time out. Wednesday’s visitors saw a three-match unbeaten run come to an end with a 2-0 defeat away to AC Milan on Saturday. Lazio were last in the Champions League two years ago. They haven’t won any of their last five fixtures in the competition and their run without an away win is even longer. Lazio haven’t won a Champions League away match since defeating Dinamo Bucuresti 3-1 in August 2007.

Celtic & Lazio Squad Analysis
Celtic will be without Gustaf Lagerbielke and Thiago Holm for Lazio’s visit due to suspension. The two were sent off in the loss to Feyenoord on matchday one. Veteran keeper Joe Hart is however available for selection after missing the win over Motherwell due to suspension. Matt O’Riley has been one of the bright sparks for Celtic this early stage of the season. He scored the winner against Motherwell in stoppage time and has now scored five goals. Kyogo Furuhashi is another player the hosts will look up to for goals here. The Japanese forward has scored four goals thus far.
Lazio have no injuries or suspensions to worry about for this game. Maurizio Sarri will have a full squad from which to pick. Ivan Provedel was an unlikely source for a goal against Atletico Madrid on matchday one. He became only the fourth goalkeeper in history to score in the Champions League. The Italian will however not be expected to do so again. Luis Alberto has been involved in four goals this season, two goals and two assists. Together with Ciro Immobile they have four goals between them and will be ones to look out for here.
