The departure of their manager - Brendan Rodgers - who's molded them into a delightful team to watch, with a monster winning mentality raised doubts that they could move into the knockout rounds of the Europa League.

However, they are now a surprise topper of their group, and the presence of giants from Ligue 1 and Serie A haven't deterred them from reaching their goals.

The Scottish contingent have turned all the odds around and molded them into advantages. They are now favorites to top the group going into the knockout stages.

That said, they are on the road this time and are poised to take on the famed Lazio. However, Neil Lennon is optimistic that the Scottish giants could topple over their opponents. He believes his side's comprehensive 5-2 win over Hibernian in the Betfred Cup semi-final has put his team in the right shape to take on Lazio.

Lazio v Celtic Team News

Serie A outfit, Lazio continue to take football fans by surprise by remaining a familiar feature in the top echelon of Serie A teams. However, they have been unable to replicate that form in Europe.

Putting things in perspective, their squad has been quite sturdy. That said, they have quite a few exciting talents capable of evolving into future stars.

Their clash with Celtic will be coming only a few days after claiming a narrow 2-1 win over AC Milan. That win made it their third in a row following victories over Torino and Fiorentina with 2-1 and 4-0 scorelines, respectively.

They have now secured a spot in the Serie A's top four, and Simone Inzaghi and his men will now have their eyes set on making it past the group stages.

Celtic are on a five-game winning streak and have done well domestically like their opponents. However, it's the confidence and dominance with which they have executed those wins that should give them huge morale ahead of their clash.

The Scots should now be used to the stereotype that they perform well only locally. They've since rubbished that school of thought by topping their group and grabbing a win in the reverse fixture. They've recorded an impressive combined scorecard of 19-3 from their last five match-ups, and are surely in the mood to cause Lazio a devastating blow.

With Celtic on the verge of qualification, they are expected to raise the bar high when it matters the most.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Lazio vs Celtic Predictions

Lazio might have found their goalscoring form, but that's not enough to shut out a Celtic side which has scored four or more goals in their previous two games on the road.

Asides firing on all cylinders, they are also helped by a sturdy backline capable of shutting out any attacking force.
