Serie A 2023-2024: Lazio-Lecce, the likely lineups

Lazio-Lecce, probable formations

The success in the Coppa Italia derby against Roma has strengthened the good form of Lazio, which at 12:30 p.m. in the first Sunday match aims to win its fourth consecutive league victory. Defeating Lecce at home would momentarily mean clinching fourth place in the standings, pending Fiorentina. The challenge will see Lazio take on Lecce, a team that has won only one of its last 13 Serie A matches and has so far failed to take the three points away from the Via del Mare this season, on a par with Frosinone and Cagliari.

Coach Sarri, who will have to deal with the psycho-physical fatigues of the Coppa Italia derby, will deploy his usual 4-3-3 form. However, he will have to do without Castellanos, who è out with muscle problems. Immobile è in doubt but should be summoned, although not 100 percent fit. In attack, therefore, Zaccagni and Isaksen will play behind Felipe Anderson, who will act as false nueve;. In midfield, Sarri will be able to count on Guendouzi, Rovella and will have to choose between Vecino and Kamada, with the former appearing to be the favorite. In defense, there is no news, and Provedel should be the starting goalkeeper.

On the other hand, Lecce will have to face the match with numerous absences due to the Africa Cup of Nations and injuries. In attack, the trident will be composed of Piccoli, Strefezza and Oudin. Pongracic seems to be recovered from the knock suffered against Cagliari.

Probable Lazio lineup (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Romagnoli, Patric, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Rovella, Vecino; Isaksen, Felipe Anderson, Zaccagni. All. Sarri.
Probable formation Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Gallo; Kaba, Ramadani, Gonzalez; Oudin, Piccoli, Strefezza. All. D’Aversa.
