As part of the sixth round of the group stage of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid welcomes Lazio to its Metropolitano stadium on Wednesday. Atletico Madrid come into this match after a 2-1 home win against Almeria in the last round of LaLiga. Currently, with 34 points won, they are in third place in the Spanish championship with one less game played, so they are seven points behind the leader Girona. Atletico can also boast of a leadership position in Group E of the Champions League. After the first five rounds played, they collected 11 points and qualified for the knockout stage of this competition, so in the upcoming clash with Lazio, they only have to avoid defeat on Wednesday night to secure the first place in the group. Diego Simeone's team turned the Metropolitano Stadium into a real impregnable fortress this season, with ten triumphs at home in all competitions. More precisely, Atletico won in front of their fans in the last 19 consecutive games. Although both teams secured passage to the next stage, it is very important who will be in first place, because it may mean a slightly easier opponent in the elimination stage. Lazio, on the other hand, seem to have finally found their form after a poor start to the season, where they won just once in their first six league games. Maurizio Sarri's side travel to Madrid with just one defeat in their last seven matches in all competitions, with four wins and two draws. Lazio's recent success has been built on solid defence, the Biancocelesti have conceded less than two goals in eight of their previous nine meetings in all competitions. Only Salernitana managed to shake Ivan Provedel's net twice, so we shouldn't expect a game with a lot of goals even in the duel with Atlético. However, Atletico Madrid has a very serious attack led by Griezmann and Correa, and Lazio will certainly have an incomparably more difficult task in this match.

作为欧冠小组赛第六轮的一部分，马德里竞技将在周三的大都会球场迎接拉齐奥。马德里竞技在西甲最后一轮主场2-1战胜阿尔梅里亚后进入本场比赛。目前，他们赢得了34分，在西班牙积分榜上排名第三，少打了一场比赛，因此他们落后领头羊赫罗纳7分。马竞还可以夸耀自己在欧冠E组的领先地位。前五轮比赛结束后，他们积11分晋级淘汰赛，因此在即将到来的与拉齐奥的比赛中，他们只需要避免在周三晚上的比赛中失利，以确保小组第一的位置。迭戈·西蒙尼的球队本赛季把大都会体育场变成了一座坚不可摧的堡垒，在所有比赛中都在主场取得了10场胜利。更准确地说，马竞在过去的19场比赛中连续在球迷面前获胜。虽然两支球队都晋级了下一阶段，但谁能获得第一名非常重要，因为这可能意味着淘汰赛阶段的对手会稍微容易一些。另一方面，拉齐奥在本赛季糟糕的开局后似乎终于找到了自己的状态，他们在前六场联赛中只赢了一场。毛里齐奥·萨里的球队在过去的七场比赛中只输了一场，四胜两平。拉齐奥最近的成功建立在坚实的防守之上，拉齐奥在之前的9次交锋中有8次丢球少于2球。只有萨莱尼塔纳两次成功地晃开了普罗韦德尔的球门，所以我们不应该期待一场有很多进球的比赛，即使是在与亚特兰蒂斯的决斗中。然而，马竞拥有由格列兹曼和科雷亚领衔的强大进攻，拉齐奥在这场比赛中无疑将面临无比艰巨的任务。
