Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Celtic
Lazio will look to retain second place in Group E when they host Celtic to their Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening. The Biancocelesti aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Feyenoord, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Matias Vecino serves a one-game ban, while all Nicolo Casale, Adam Marusic, and Mattia Zaccagni are sidelined with injuries. Experienced attacker Ciro Immobile is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
The Hoops, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only one point on their account. Celtic are not regarded as good travellers and given their shaky defence, we are tempted to put our money on Waltez Mazzarri’s troops. Japan forward Daizen Maeda misses out through suspension, while all Reo Hatate, Liel Abada, Marco Tilio, and James McCarthy remain in the recovery room.

Joe Hart is an English goalkeeper who was born on 19 April, 1987. Following a three-year spell with Shrewsbury Town, Hart joined big-spending Manchester City in 2006.
