Feyenoord will play host to Lazio in gameweek three of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening. The hosts are currently third in Group E with three points, while the visitors are just one point and one spot above them in the current standings. Atletico Madrid lead the group, and Celtic are in fourth place. Feyenoord clinched the Eredivisie title by seven points last season and have made a very positive start to their title defense. They came into this match off the back of a 4-0 win over Vitesse last weekend. That result kept their unbeaten league record this season intact, with seven wins and two draws in nine games. In fact, the only loss they have conceded in all competitions was against Atletico Madrid at the start of the month. De Kuip are on a five-match winning streak at home and have lost only once in their last ten in all competitions. The hosts are the clear favorites here, according to the bookmakers. 

Meanwhile, last season's Serie A runners-up Lazio have been less impressive this term. They are currently in ninth place in their domestic league with 13 points after nine matches. The visitors managed just one win in their first five league matches this season. However, they have shown improvement in the last month, winning four of their last five games. The Eagles beat Sassuolo 2-0 last weekend, extending their winning run to three in all competitions. That run includes a 2-1 win over Celtic in this competition at the start of October. I Biancocelesti have won three and lost three of their six away games this season and have only managed to keep one clean sheet in that time. When these sides met at this venue in the Europa League last season, Lazio lost 1-0.
