📋 Team News: Lazio

Senad Lulic (Ankle Surgery), Luiz Felipe (Calf Injury), Adam Marusic (Muscular problems) and Bobby Adekanye (Muscular problems) won’t be playing for Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi.

We think that i Biancocelesti should use a 3-5-2 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Thomas Strakosha, Patric, Francesco Acerbi, Bastos, Jony, Danilo Cataldi, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Luis Alberto, Manuel Lazzari, Ciro Immobile and Marco Parolo.

🗞️ Team News: Fiorentina

Due to a mostly healthy squad, there is just a single fitness problem for the Fiorentina manager Giuseppe Iachini to be concerned with. Christian Kouamé (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that La Viola appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system, settling for Bartłomiej Drągowski, Nikola Milenkovic, German Pezzella, Federico Ceccherini, Dalbert Henrique, Alfred Duncan, Eric Pulgar, Gaetano Castrovilli, Rachid Ghezzal, Dusan Vlahovic and Franck Ribéry.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Fiorentina certainly have the ability to find the net against this Lazio side, although that may not be enough to avoid a loss. Our tip is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Lazio by the conclusion of the game. It really should be an interesting one.
