Fiorentina do not have the best of away records and facing Lazio here will be an uphill task. However, they will bank on their impressive scoring form, away from home in Serie A, having netted in nine of 13 away matches. It is however not going to be easy against Lazio, who are coming from an away loss, and with a good run at home. Lazio are unbeaten in 11 home matches and have scored at least twice in their last four matches. They have however conceded in three of their last five matches and we feel they may be opened up here as well. We are backing them for a 2-1 win though.

Whether he was pushing his players up, or dragging them back, they did exactly what he asked them to do. A masterclass from Atletico "Atletico lined up in a 4-4-2 formation but Koke always tracked Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson so he was sometimes playing as a right-sided full-back in a back five.
