Lazio vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Atletico Madrid are winless in their last five Champions League games, drawing two of them
• Lazio have won just one of their opening four games in Serie A this season
• Atleti have conceded in each of their last four Champions League away games

Out-of-sorts pair tough to separate

Both Lazio and Atletico Madrid have looked vulnerable in the opening weeks of the Serie A and La Liga seasons and they could be tough to separate in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Atleti have had a mixed bag of results in Spain this term, signing off before the international break with a 7-0 hammering of Rayo Vallecano before losing 3-0 to Valencia on Saturday.

Diego Simeone has some excellent attacking options at his disposal but finding the best combination is proving challenging and Atletico’s last Champions League campaign is unlikely to fill fans with much hope.

Last term Atletico Madrid finished rock bottom of Group B behind Porto, Club Brugge and Bayer Leverkusen, winning just one of their six group matches.

Cagey contest on the cards in Rome

For that reason, punters may be reluctant to back them at the Stadio Olimpico, where the draw looks like the best bet.

Lazio have lost three of their last four games but showed they can be dangerous when beating defending Serie A champions Napoli at the start of the month and a share of the spoils looks fair.

This is likely to be a cagey affair too, so 1-1 represents a decent correct score prediction.
