Atletico Madrid will begin their 2023-24 UEFA Champions League campaign with a Group E trip away to Lazio at the Olimpico Tour Stadium on Tuesday.
Atletico suffered a defeat in their latest outing against Valencia in the league. The defeat came after a huge 7-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, with Alvaro Morata scoring a brace. They will be confident of starting their group stage campaign with a win.
Lazio have only managed to win one out of their four Serie A fixture so far - that win came against Napoli, with Luis Alberto and Daichi Kamada getting on the scoresheet. Alberto scored again in the game against Juventus, their most recent outing, but the full-time result was a 3-1 defeat from which Lazio will be looking to bounce back.
