Lazio-Atletico Madrid, the probable formations

Lazio returns to the Champions League after three years and makes its home debut against Atletico Madrid. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico. The Biancocelesti will want to bounce back after the clear defeat in Turin against Juventus (3-1). The Colchoneros, coming off a heavy away loss against Valencia (3-0), are not faring any better.

Sarri prepares two changes from the eleven fielded against Juventus: Luca Pellegrini in place of Hysaj and Guendouzi in place of Kamada. In attack, the Felipe Anderson-Immobile-Zaccagni trident is confirmed.

Simeone relies on the Griezmann-Morata pair in attack. Midfield led by Barrios, on the outsides Molina and Riquelme. Defense headed Gimenez, between the posts Oblak.

LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Casale, Romagnoli, Lu. Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; F. Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni. All. Sarri.

ATLETICO MADRID (3-5-2): Oblak; Savic, Gimenez, Hermoso; Molina, Llorente, Barrios, Saul, Riquelme; Griezmann, Morata. All. Simeone.
