Celtic vs Lazio prediction for UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Group stage match.
In the UEFA Champions Group stage match, Celtic will host Lazio.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Celtic win or draw – 1.61
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals under 3.5 – 1.36
Celtic have won six and drawn one of their first seven league games, putting them atop the Scottish Premiership.
Lazio have had a poor start in Serie A, occupying 15th place with just two victories in their first seven league games.
The hosts are playing more confidently on home soil; therefore, we expect them at least to take a point in this matchup.
These teams last time met in 2019 during the UEFA Europa League group stage. In both games, Celtic beat Lazio by the same score 2:1.
Considering the current form of the two sides, we see a low-scoring game.
A disappointing UEFA Champions League start for Celtic, as they were defeated 2-0 by Feyenoord in their first group stage encounter in Rotterdam.
Celtic finished the game with 9 players after Gustaf Lagerbielke and Odin Holm were sent off. The Scottish side’s last away victory in the competition was in 2017.
Before this game, Celtic have secured two victories in the Scottish Premiership.
Meanwhile, Lazio had quite a good start by playing out a draw against Atletico Madrid at home (1:1).
Thanks to their goalkeeper Ivan Provedel, who came forward and headed in a stoppage-time equalizer to earn a point for the Roman club.
Heading into this match, Maurizio Sarri’s men suffered a defeat by AC Milan (0:2) in the regular league match.
