Lazio vs Celtic Preview

Lazio will look to build on their recent fine run of form and avenge the 2-1 loss they suffered at Celtic Park a fortnight ago while Celtic will look to build on their recent form to get one leg in the next round.

Lazio have been in fine form of late and their 2-1 win at Milan over the weekend would have added some confidence to their banks.  That was their 3rd consecutive win and two of those have come away from home.

The Italians are unbeaten at home this season winning four of the five home games they have played in all competitions.

Celtic are engaged in a strong battle for the Scottish league title as they now have a strong Rangers side to compete with after years of dominance.  That challenge has forced them not to be complacent.

The visitors beat Hibernians 2-5 in their last league and that was their 5th consecutive win.  They have lost just one of their last 17 games in all competitions and picked up a draw in their last away Europa League game.

The reverse fixture of this game was the first time that these teams met and Celtic came out on top.
