Cagliari v Lazio combined XI features Isolani attacking duo | OneFootball

Lazio travel to Sardinia seeking a response to last weekend’s defeat at Atalanta, with kick-off on Saturday at 20:45 CET. They can extend a 21-match unbeaten run against Cagliari. According to The Laziali, here is the best combined XI, with absences considered.

Goalkeeper Ivan Provedel gets the nod ahead of the improving Elia Caprile. The back three features Mario Gila on the right despite his injury ruling him out, Yerry Mina in the middle, and Alessio Romagnoli on the left.

Marco Palestra is selected at right wing-back, preferred to Adam Marusic and Manuel Lazzari. On the left, Nuno Tavares edges Luca Pellegrini and Adam Obert, while Riyad Idrissi remains one for the future. Nicolo Rovella anchors midfield, with Luca Mazzitelli the box-to-box pick over Kenneth Taylor.

Up front, Sebastiano Esposito starts on the right after impressing as a versatile creator. Semih Kilicsoy, the 20-year-old Turkish striker, leads the line. Captain Mattia Zaccagni completes the trio on the left.

The selections underscore a shrinking gap between the squads as several Rossoblu choices break into this XI. Yet Lazio still supply core experience across the spine. The contest in Cagliari should reflect that balance.
