Lazio will make their first appearance in the Champions League since the 2007-08 season. Simone Inzaghi's side finished in fourth place in the Serie A standings last season to qualify for the elite tournament. However, Lazio have endured a rather underwhelming start to the new campaign as they sit 15th in the current Serie A standings with four points from as many games. Most recently, Lazio were humbled 3-0 by Sampdoria on Saturday.
