Lazio-Atalanta, the probable formations

Saturday’s Serie A will end with the challenge between Lazio and Atalanta, a significant clash in the fight for qualification to the next Champions League. On the one hand, the biancocelesti will try to return to victory after the draw with Verona and push away direct competitors, while the Bergamasks are called to redemption following the defeat on the field of Sassuolo.

In the hosts’ ranks, few changes are expected from Maurizio Sarri. In defense Lazzari should return from the first minute at the expense of Hysaj. In the midfield very much in the balance between Cataldi and Vecino, with the former having a slight advantage despite not being 100 percent. In attack there will be Felipe Anderson to complete the trident with Immobile and Zaccagni.

The guests, on the other hand, will have to deal with the disqualifications of Muriel and Maehle and the probable forfeit of Palomino and Zappacosta. In defense, there will be space for Scalvini, Toloi and Djimsiti. On the lanes should act Hateboer and Ruggeri. Finally, in attack strong ballot between Boga and Ederson to flank the Lookman-Hojlund tandem, with the Ivorian favored.

Likely lineups.

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Milinkovic, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni. Coach: Sarri

Atalanta (3-4-3): Musso; Toloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini; Hateboer, de Roon, Koopmeiners, Ruggeri; Boga, Hojlund, Lookman. Coach: Gasperini
