Atletico Madrid vs Lazio: Recent History
Atletico currently find themselves third in La Liga after 15 matches, picking up 34 points from 11 wins and a draw. Diego Simeone’s side bounced back from a painful 1-0 loss to Barcelona with a 2-1 win over Almeria on the weekend.
In Group E, the Spanish club have been undefeated in their last five outings, picking up wins over Feyenoord and Celtic. They’ve got a one-point lead over chasers Lazio, who held them to a dramatic 1-1 draw back in September.
Lazio have been chaotic this term and their three-game win streak was broken by a tense 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona on Saturday. They’ve risen to the occasion on the European stage, however, and have already qualified for the next round of the Champions League.
Maurizio Sarri’s side will be desperate to take home all three points in their clash in the Spanish capital as a first-place finish should set up an easier draw in the Round of 16.
Team News & Expected Starting Lineups
Atletico cannot count on the injured Pablo Barrios, Thomas Lemar and Vitolo, but key stars like Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata and Memphis Depay are all fit.

Atletico Madrid (5-3-2): Oblak; Hermos, Witsel, Savic, Lino, Molina; Llorente, Koke, Saul; Griezmann, Morata.
Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Patric, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Kamada, Vecino, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.

Mr president please get Greenwood. Sarri needs a top striker and 2 quality wingers. Sarri is the best football philosopher now. Most coaches are adopting his tactics. Like De zerbi and Xavi Aonso
