Celtic vs Lazio Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 4th October 2023

The match between Celtic and Lazio will kick off this coming Wednesday at Celtic Park. This is a match in round two of the Champions League group stage this season.

After the opening round of the group matches Celtic are number four on zero points, while Lazio have one point as number three.

It was a thoroughly dreadful performance from Celtic in their first match against Feyenoord. Badly disciplined, lacking in defensive strength, they could be looking at a tough time against Lazio.

Challenging for the title might be a bit of a long shot when Lazio enter the Champions League this season. However, they make a tough opponent for anyone and qualifying for the knockout phase is within their reach.

Celtic have not been doing as well as expected in terms of scoring goals lately, as they have only scored seven in their last ten matches in this tournament. This is an average of 0.7 per game, while they have also conceded 22 goals. They have kept a clean sheet in zero of those matches.

Lazio scored 14 goals, conceded 17 and managed a clean sheet zero times in their previous ten matches in this tournament.

Celtic vs Lazio Prediction

Celtic Form

Celtic look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Feyenoord, they were left empty-handed in a 2-0 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Livingston in a 0-3 win. They followed that up with a 1-2 win against Motherwell in their most recent outing. Celtic claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Champions League, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored nine and conceded nine goals.

Lazio Form

Lazio were able to add four points to their account from their last three matches. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Monza, before claiming three points in a 2-0 win against Torino. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 2-0 defeat at the hands of AC Milan. Lazio didn't manage a single away win in their last six Champions League matches, but managed three draws, while suffering three defeats. They conceded 11 and scored five goals themselves.

Celtic and Lazio are both scoring more or less for fun right now, and a very entertaining game should be on the menu. More often than not, their matches against each other turn out high scoring affairs.
