The latest from the fields and the probable lineups of Parma-Lazio (Sunday 3.00 pm, referee Zufferli, live TV on Dazn):
The latest from Parma
After the defeat against Atalanta, the calendar places Parma once again facing an opponent in a state of grace. Lazio arrives at the Tardini on Sunday: a complicated match but in which the Crociati must score points to reverse the negative trend at home and move away from the red zone. Pecchia goes towards confirming the defensive block, with Suzuki between the posts, defended by Delprato and Balogh. Coulibaly goes wide on the right while Valeri on the left. Hernani is back in midfield and will be part of the match, but probably only once the match is underway. Pecchia reflects on the option with the double midfielder, with Keita and Estevez behind Sohm in the attacking midfield, but the possibility of a more attacking attacking midfielder also remains alive. Wide on the right there will be Man while on the left Cancellieri is the favourite. In attack it’s still Bonny’s turn. (from Parma, Tommaso Rocca)
The latest from Rome
Marco Baroni’s Lazio came out of the Europa League match rather bruised and had to deal with several doubts about their formation ahead of the match against Parma. In Europe, Vecino had to wave the white flag due to a muscle problem and Dia due to a sprained ankle. The objective is to get the Senegalese back on the bench at least, while the Uruguayan will certainly be out and joins Tavares and Castrovilli among the unavailable. It will be 4-2-3-1 again for Lazio with the return of Provedel between the posts. In front of him, a four-man defense with Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli and Pellegrini, the latter managed in the European match while awaiting Tavares’ return expected next week. In midfield the usual pair of Rovella and Guendouzi. Behind the center forward Castellanos there will be Isaksen on the right and Zaccagni on the left, with Pedro being the main suspect to take Dia’s place in the centre. (from Rome, Lorenzo Beccarisi)
