Marco Baroni will be without the injured trio of Nuno Tavares, Patric and Arijon Ibrahimovic, but the good news is Taty Castellanos’ timely return. After getting a cameo against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, the Argentine striker is expected to spearhead Lazio’s charge, supported by the tried-and-tested trio of Gustav Isaksen, Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni.

Matteo Guendouzi and Nicolo Rovella will reunite in the middle of the park, while Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli are the favorites to start at the back ahead of Samuel Gigot. In the full-back slots, Adam Marusic and Luca Pellegrini are tipped to get the nod at the expense of Elseid Hysaj and Manuel Lazzari.

After his excellent displays in Bergamo and Norway, Christos Mandas should start once more, keeping Ivan Provedel on the bench.

Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos

Aside from Paulo Dybala and Saud Abdulhamid, Claudio Ranieri has a full squad to choose from. Mile Svilar will be in goal, with Gianluca Mancini, Mats Hummels and Evan Ndicka ahead of him. Nevertheless, Zeki Celik is pushing for a starting role at the German veteran’s expense. Alexis Saelemakers and Angelino should operate on the wings.

Manu Koné should link up with Leandro Paredes in the double pivot, while the trio of Lorenzo Pellegrini, Stephan El Shaarawy and Matia Souè are vying for two starting roles behind Artem Dovbyk.
