And let it be a revolution, once again. The modus operandi of Marco Baroni doesn’t change, even against Parma there will be an almost total upheaval of the lineup seen on Thursday against Ludogorets. At least eight substitutions, perhaps even nine compared to the eleven seen against the Bulgarians. Some choices will be forced, given all the absences of Dia and Vecino. The Senegalese should recover for Thursday’s match in the Italian Cup against Napoli. Vecino’s situation is more serious, with the Uruguayan having a small muscle injury that will keep him out at least until the match on 16 December against Inter. The big doubt for Baroni is in the attacking midfield, where Pedro has just started two games in four days and on Thursday he asked for a change because he no longer had one. In the event of a rest session for the Spaniard, there will be room for Dele-Bashiru, who has recovered from the muscle discomfort that kept him on the bench with Ludogorets. If he were to start, the Nigerian would return to play from the first minute a month before the match against Twente, while in Serie A he hasn’t even started since the second matchday.
Lazio, Baroni’s eight safe changes
Having said the doubt about the attacking midfield, there will certainly be eight lineup changes compared to Ludogorets. They will only be confirmed Pilgrims and Guendouzi, with the full-back born in 1999 making his third consecutive start following Tavares’ injury to the national team. Provedel returns to goal and in front of him, in addition to Pellegrini, Romagnoli, Gila and Lazzari will complete the defensive quartet. His friend Rovella returns to Guendouzi’s side, having been rested for an hour in Europe before Vecino’s muscle injury. On either side of the attacking midfielder it will be the turn of Zaccagni on the left and Isaksen on the right, with the Dane looking for the goal that has been missing in Serie A for over three months. At the center of the attack is Castellanos, also in goal abstinence albeit to a lesser extent than Isaksen given that Taty hasn’t scored since the October 31st match against Como.
