Lazio News and Form – Can Lazio find some away form at Celtic?
This will be the first time that Lazio have faced up to Scottish opposition. They are sitting a point back from Celtic in the pool standings and the reason for that was them suffering a shock loss against Cluj. The Italians redeemed themselves when they fought back from being a goal down to beat Rennes. So they have been far from perfect.
Lazio won last season’s Coppa Italia which is why they are here. They have qualified from each for their previous six Europa League group stage campaign. The away form of Lazio has to be highlighted here because it is practically non-existent. Lazio are W2 L7 in their last nine away games in Europe.
