The latest from the fields and the probable lineups of Lazio-Empoli (Sunday at 3.00 pm Ayroldi referee, live TV on DAZN):
The latest from Rome
Marco Baroni’s Lazio has finally found continuity as evidenced by the three consecutive victories between the championship and the Europa League. The Biancoceleste coach was able to rotate almost all the elements of his squad, changing eight starters with Nice compared to the match in Turin. He has to deal with some ailments, given that Gila took a beating and both Vecino and Marusic came out tired. Against Empoli we will see the typical Lazio again starting from the posts, where Provedel takes his place again after Mandas’ good performance in the Europa League. Lazzari returns on the right in place of the tired Marusic, on the left Tavares who, as the best assistman in the championship, wants to continue making the difference. Alongside Romagnoli in the center of defense Gila should make it, with Patric ready in case the former Real player doesn’t make it. Nicolò Rovella returns to the control room alongside Matteo Guendouzi, his third starter in a week. Isaksen and Zaccagni return to the midfield on the wings with Boulaye Dia supporting Taty Castellanos, fresh from a brace with Nice on his 26th birthday. (from Rome, Lorenzo Beccarisi)
The latest from Empoli
Confirmations in defense with the trio Goglichidze-Ismajili-Viti sure of their place. In midfield on the flanks the favorites are always Gyasi and Pezzella, even if Cacace is well and can put D’Aversa in difficulty. In the center Grassi and Henderson ahead of Maleh, who is better than the weeks spent in the infirmary. Fazzini could return to the attacking midfield from the first minute, while Anjorin could make room for him. Together with him one between Esposito and Solbakken with the Italian favorite. In attack, Colombo should prevail over Pellegri. (from Empoli, Simone Galli)
