Lazio ‘to keep’ backline intact as attack choices stay open for Venezia | OneFootball

Gennaro Gattuso is expected to retain most of his Lazio XI at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Saturday at 20:45 CET, though the forward line remains unsettled.

The Biancocelesti are unbeaten in the league, with three straight wins followed by a 2-2 draw against AC Milan. Performances against Ruben Amorim’s men offered little reason to tinker.

La Lazio Siamo Noi reports the defence in front of Christos Mandas will be unchanged, with Josip Sutalo alongside Oliver Provstgaard and Nuno Tavares and Romano Floriani Mussolini at full-back. Danilho Doekhi has returned after hand surgery, but Sutalo is set to keep his place.

In midfield, Gattuso said Danilo Catladi is fully available again while Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is fit but might not be risked. The coach is expected to reconfirm Davide Frattesi, Reda Belahyane and Kenneth Taylor.

Up front, only Mattia Zaccagni is assured of starting. Sky Sport Italia expects Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin to keep their places after scoring last weekend. However, La Gazzetta dello Sport makes Andrea Pinamonti favourite to lead the line and gives Gustav Isaksen a 40 percent chance of replacing Cancellieri.

Probable XI 4-3-3, Mandas, Floriani Mussolini, Sutalo, Provstgaard, Tavares, Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor, Cancellieri or Isaksen, Noslin or Pinamonti, Zaccagni.
