Feyenoord and Lazio both look among the leading contenders for a knockout spot in Group E. However, this will be a huge showdown for both clubs this week, as a victory could leave them sitting top of the standings before Atletico Madrid kick off later on in the evening.
Lazio have started their Champions League campaign in a pleasing manner, as they have gone two without a defeat so far. That start to the competition currently leaves them sitting in second spot in the Group E standings, but their confidence will be high following a dramatic late win over Celtic on the previous round of matches, with Pedro scoring the late winner on that occasion.
Feyenoord also come into this match with a victory already on the board, as the Dutch side landed maximum points on the opening night against Celtic. However, they were brought back down to earth on matchday two, as they were easily beaten by Atletico Madrid. A better performance will be needed against their Italian rivals on Wednesday if they are to pick up some crucial points.
Scoring hasn’t been an issue for Feyenoord in the Champions League to this point, as they have scored exactly twice in each of their last three matches in the competition. Over that period, they have scored more goals in the competition than they had in their previous five. Feyenoord have also landed wins in each of their last two home matches, and will be searching for a third consecutive win for the first time in their history.
However, Lazio have been able to rise to the occasion in the group stage in recent seasons, as they are unbeaten in five matches at this stage of the competition. They have only previous enjoyed one longer run, as they went eight without defeat in 1999-2000.
These two sides locked horns in the group stage of the Europa League last season. Feyenoord landed a 1-0 home in, before they were beaten 4-2 in Italy. Meanwhile, Feyenoord are unbeaten in the only two previous clashes between these sides in the Champions League.
The trends certainly indicate that there could be value in siding with Feyenoord this weekend, as they boast an excellent home record in the competition, and have also gotten the better of their rivals in recent history.
