Group top showdown: Atletico Madrid vs Lazio Atletico Madrid have performed well in La Liga and are currently back in third place with a record of 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The team has a remarkable home record, winning all eight games, with a clear home advantage, both offensive and defensive, scoring 19 goals and conceding only 8 goals.
In the group stage of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid stood out with an unbeaten record of three wins and two draws, becoming the only unbeaten team in the group and has advanced early. The only suspense now is whether they will be able to fight for top spot in the group, after all, this game is a clash for the top of the group. In contrast, Lazio's performance has slipped this season and is currently 10th in Serie A with six wins, three draws and six defeats.
The team's away performance is relatively passive, with only 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, ranking 12th, and the away attack is average. Despite qualifying for the Champions League group stage, the team has been mediocre in the league, so there is no need to retain strength in the Champions League. The last away game was held to a draw by Verona, and the team's away performance was indeed slightly tired.
Based on the current statistics, Atletico Madrid have a clear advantage, with a very strong home momentum, winning all ten home games and attacking with great efficiency. Therefore, I believe that in this game, Atletico Madrid will be expected to continue their dominance at home.
