Como Team News, Injuries, Suspensions & Probable Lineup

Cesc Fabregas almost has a full squad to choose from, as the only two missing players are the injured Alberto Dossena and Nicolas Kuhn. Therefore, there have been many speculations regarding Como’s starting lineup, but Jean Butez will certainly start in goal, while Mergim Vojvoda, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf and Alex Valle should constitute the backline.

In the middle of the park, Maximo Perrone is the favourite to claim the Regista role over Sergi Roberto, while Nico Paz’s position remains uncertain. The magical Spaniard might be set for a hybrid role, but on paper, he could be placed as part of the midfield, with Lucas Da Cunha completing the trio.

New signing Jayden Addai is the slight favorite ahead of Assane Diao on the right wing, while the club’s other new wonderkid, Jesus Rodriguez, should take the left flank. Anastasios Douvikas should lead the line, while Alvaro Morata is likely to be introduced in the second half.

Como (4-3-3): Butez; Vojvoda, Goldaniga, Kempf, Valle; Paz, Perrona, Da Cunha; Addai, Douvikas, Rodriguez

Lazio Team News, Injuries, Suspensions & Probable Lineup

Maurizio Sarri will be without the injured Patric, Samuel Gigot and Matias Vecino, while Gustav Isaksen needs a few more weeks to regain his best condition after his long bout with mononucleosis. Moreover, Alessio Romagnoli is suspended, hence why Oliver Provstgaard will start at the back alongside Mario Gila, with Ivan Provedel in goal.

Manuel Lazzari could be the slight favorite ahead of Adam Marusic for the right-back, slot, while Nuno Tavares will certainly start on the left. In the middle of the park, Nicolo Rovella will operate between Matteo Guendouzi and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, while Taty Castellanos will likely get the nod ahead of Boulaye Dia to lead the line, supported by Mattia Zaccagni and Matteo Cancellieri.

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Gila, Provstgaard, Nuno Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella, Dele-Bashiru; Cancellieri, Castellanos, Zaccagni.
