Lazio Expected To Make Solitary Change in Starting Lineup Against Roma | OneFootball

Lazio coach Marco Baroni will reportedly maintain the bulk of the starting lineup for the big Derby della Capitale clash against Roma.

Lazio to Maintain 4-3-3 Formation vs Roma

In their last outing, the Biancocelesti produced a solid display against Atalanta after switching to a 4-3-3 formation, but were eventually impeded by a late equalizer from Marco Bescianini which cost them the victory. But according to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the positive performance was enough to convince the manager to maintain the system.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to Keep His Spot

Therefore, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru should maintain his role in the middle of the park alongside Nicolo Rovella and Matteo Guendouzi. On the other hand, Boulaye Dia won’t find space in this formation, so he’ll have to start on the bench. Taty Castellanos will lead the line, while Mattia Zaccagni will surely start on the left, as he’ll be looking to add a new chapter to his Derby feats.

Gustav Isaksen Returns to the Lineup

However, the source notes that there should be one change to the starting lineup, with Gustav Isaksen reclaiming his spot on the right wing, thus relegating Loum Tchaouna to the bench. On the hand, the defence will remain unchanged with Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli and Nuno Tavares starting in front of Ivan Provedel.

The Injury List

Baroni will be without Matias Vecino who could remain out till March, while Pedro is unlikely to shake off his injury in time to join the squad. It remains to be seen if Patric, Manuel Lazzari and Tijjani Noslin will prove their fitness ahead of the Derby which kicks off this Sunday at 20:45 local time.
