Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
Atletico Madrid currently leads Group E with 11 points out of a possible 15. Undoubtedly, this is the Atleti we are used to seeing in the Champions League, not the team eliminated in two consecutive seasons in the Group Stage.
The ‘Colchoneros’ want revenge and have shown it in this Champions League by remaining undefeated with three wins and two draws. However, the team has not secured first place in the group, as Lazio is only 1 point behind them.
As a result, they will have to leave blood, sweat, and tears in this last match of the group stage to take first place in the group.
Atleti is coming off an excellent win against Feyenoord, away, with a score of 3-1.
Why Bet on Lazio?
On the other hand, Lazio arrives at this last day of the Champions League Group Stage with the firm conviction of storming Madrid and thus taking 3 points that will allow them to take first place in Group E.
In one way or another, this group stage has been positive for Lazio, as they sealed their qualification to the round of 16 after winning three of the last four matches played.
Thanks to this, the team has a golden opportunity to displace Atleti from the top and take first place in the group from them.
Lazio comes from two consecutive wins, the last against Celtic with a 2-0 score.
