Atletico Madrid vs Lazio prediction 13.12.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: 13th December 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Civitas Metropolitan Stadium

The top two teams in Group E of the UEFA Champions League meet on Wednesday night as Atlético Madrid host Lazio in Madrid.

After being on the receiving end of a lot of criticisms for leaving it until January last season to start winning games, Atlético de Madrid have reacted well this season. Diego Simone's side sit third in the league with a game in hand and are on top of the tree in group E of the Champions League. With just one point separating Los Colchoneros from the visitors of Wednesday's game, they will need to avoid defeat to finish top of the group.

Lazio meanwhile have found their form after a slow start to the 2023-24 campaign which saw the Italian side pick up just one win in their opening six league games of the season. Maurizio Sarri’s side enter Wednesday’s game with just one defeat from their last seven games across all competitions, winning four and drawing two.

Atletico Madrid vs Lazio Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Atlético Madrid have turned the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium into a real fortress this season. Los Colchoneros boast ten wins from their home games in all competitions this season and going back to last season, they have won each of their last 19 matches on home soil. However, with qualification already secured, Diego Simeone may rest some of his key players in preparation for the trip to Bilbao.

Lazio have built their recent success on a very solid defensive foundation. The Italians have conceded less than two goals in eight of their last nine games in all competitions and bets on under 2.5 goals were won in as many games. Maurizio Sarri's side have also already managed to finish two games in Europe this season without conceding.

• Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
