Celtic take on the visitors Lazio in the round 2 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 4th at Celtic Park (Glasgow).
Celtic isn't particularly surprising at the moment. The Green and White team changed their manager over the summer. More precisely, they replaced Ange Postecoglou, who moved on to Tottenham, with Brendan Rodgers, who had previously worked in Glasgow. The tasks for the manager from Northern Ireland are clear: maintain dominance domestically and show something internationally. Last season, the Scots started directly from the group stage of the Champions League and finished there, losing the dispute to Donetsk's Shakhtar for third place in the group. Currently leading in the Premiership (although they managed to lose in the League Cup to modest Kilmarnock), the Celts responded to Feyenoord's goals in Rotterdam with a couple of expulsions, Lagerbäck and Holm.

Lazio had a tough start to the new season. The Eagles unexpectedly became the vice-champions of Italy last season. Yes, a 10-point penalty knocked Juventus off their perch, and Napoli quickly pulled away, but overall, Maurizio Sarri's wards climbed so high. But after the summer break, they experienced a sharp decline, and it's challenging to explain, even with the departure of Milinkovic-Savic, despite his importance to the sky-blue side of Rome. Italian's had to start the Champions League campaign with a loss - Atletico led for a long time. But persistence paid off: in the final assault, Provodel nodded in the last cross with a header.
The teams faced each other in the group stage of the Europa League in 2019. Back then, both matches ended in Celtic's favor. Both opponents have their strengths. We recommend betting on both teams to score in this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
