Lazio Expected Lineup vs AC Milan: Only One Doubt in Attack | OneFootball

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso could decide to keep his starting lineup intact when he hosts his former club, AC Milan, on Saturday. The contest will take place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and it kicks off at 18:00 CET.

Gennaro Gattuso to Confirm Lazio Starting Lineup vs AC Milan?

As is often the case, managers tend to confirm winning sides, so after winning his first three Serie A games of the season, Gattuso doesn’t need to ring the changes. Moreover, the 48-year-old has a shortage of options in several departments, making some of his choices almost compulsory.

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the Biancocelesti could enter the clash against Milan with the same starting XI that pulled off the come-from-behind win in Udine on Monday. Christos Mandas will certainly start in goal, protected by the defensive quartet of Romano Floriani Mussolini, Danilho Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard, and Nuno Tavares.

Diogo Leite Set for First Lazio Call-up

Adam Marusic will be out until the international break, and Josip Sutalo remains on the sidelines, so his Lazio debut will be delayed. On the other hand, the club’s newest signing, Diogo Leite, should earn his first call-up, so he should start the contest on the bench.

With three players out of action, the midfield trio picks itself, as Reda Belahyane will once again operate as a Regista between Davide Frattesi and Kenneth Taylor. The source expects Nicolo Rovella to remain on the treatment table until the international break, but Fisayo Dele-Bashiru might return for next weekend’s contest against Venezia. Danilo Cataldi is still recovering from groin surgery.

Gustav Isaksen or Matteo Cancellieri is the Only Selection Doubt

Despite suffering a slight knock against Udinese, Andrea Pinamonti should lead the line once more. Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni will take the left wing, while Gustav Isaksen remains the favourite to keep his place at Matteo Cancellieri’s expense on the right side. La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that the two wingers are vying for a starting role, with the Dane (60%) having the advantage over the Italian (40%).
