Lazio-Celtic, the probable formations

Lazio hosts Celtic on the fifth day of the Champions League group stage. Kickoff at 6:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico. The biancocelesti with a win could already get the qualification to the round of 16, provided that Atletico Madrid, engaged on the field of Feyenoord, also wins. The green-and-whites are obliged to win to keep their hopes of qualification alive.

Obligatory choices in defense for Sarri, accomplice to the injuries of Romagnoli and Casale: space for the Patric-Gila pair. In midfield Luis Alberto and Guendouzi halfbacks, in attack there'è Immobile, with Isaksen and Pedro, replacing the injured Zaccagni, on his sides. In goal, Provedel should grit his teeth.

Rodgers must do without Hatate and Maeda: the former will be replaced by Turnbull, while the latter will be replaced by Forrest, with Furuhashi and Yang completing the offensive trident. Defense headed by Carter-Vickers and Scales.

Probable lineups

LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Patric, Gila, Hysaj; Guendouzi, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Isaksen, Immobile, Pedro. All. Sarri.

CELTIC (4-3-3): Hart Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, O'Riley, Turnbull; Forrest, Furuhashi, Yang. All. Rodgers.
