Feyenoord v Lazio

Feyenoord vs Lazio Preview

The Wednesday night early evening kick-offs on Matchday 3 in the Champions League features this upcoming battle between Dutch hosts, Feyenoord, and their Italian counterparts, Lazio, when the two teams meet at the Stadion Feijenoord with just one point separating the two clubs in the Group E table with Lazio sitting in second place and Feyenoord occupying third spot.

Feyenoord started their Champions League group campaign in perfect fashion as they registered a solid 2-0 home win against Scottish Premiership champions, Celtic, on Matchday 1 but were then handed a 3-2 loss away from home at Atletico Madrid on Matchday 2, leaving the Dutch hosts in a mi-table position with three points to their name.

However, the hosts will be in confident mood as they return to the more familiar surroundings of their Stadion Feijenoord as they have captured eight wins out of their last nine matches in all competitions and includes Arne Slot's side winning each of their last five home games on the trot as well.

Domestic wins in the Dutch Eredivisie against Almere City, Heerenveen, Go Ahead Eagles and Vitesse have been further complemented by their victory over Celtic in the Champions League and Feyenoord will be keen to replicate that result here on Wednesday night.

Lazio collected a third win on the trot in all competitions on the weekend when they registered a 2-0 win away from home at Sassuolo which followed on from wins against Celtic 2-1 away in the Champions League and a 3-2 win against Atalanta in Serie A, so they too will be in confident mood ahead of this Matchday 3 clash with Feyenoord.

Lazio have also produced some encouraging results in recent times as the Italian outfit have been dealt just the one defeat out of their last seven matches in all competitions which includes a 1-1 draw at home with La Liga side, Atletico Madrid, in their opening game of this season's group stage in the Champions League.

However, results away from home have failed to match that of their overall form as Lazio have won four of their last nine games on the road but they have also slipped to five defeats within this period as well, which includes defeats on the road in Serie A at Lecce, Juventus and AC Milan.

Feyenoord v Lazio Verdict

It's been six years since Feyenoord last featured in the Champions League but the Dutch side bring an impressive run of wins and momentum into this upcoming clash with Lazio as they have won their last five games on the trot at their Stadion Feijenoord.

Lazio meanwhile, have managed to collect just one win from their previous nine outings on the road in this competition which perhaps does not bode well for Maurizio Sarri's side.

Therefore, our main bet will be Feyenoord win @ 1.85

Other side bets worth considering:
