Roma-Neom SC, the probable formations of the friendly

The last pre-season test for Gian Piero Gasperini&#8217s Roma, who at the Benito Stirpe Stadium in Frosinone face Neom SC, a Saudi club newly promoted to the Saudi Pro League and led on the bench by former PSG player Christophe Galtier. For the Giallorossi it&#8217s a last chance to refine what they have rehearsed in preparation before the league debut scheduled for Saturday 23 against Bologna.

As for the starting lineup, Gasperini is expected to field an eleven very similar to the standard lineup with Svilar in goal, Mancini, Ndicka and Hermoso in defense, Celik and Angeliño on the flanks, Cristante and Manu Koné in the midfield, Dybala and Soulé on the three-quarter line to support the leading scorer, Ireland&#8217s Evan Ferguson.

For Galtier, on the other hand, a lineup with four defenders, two midfielders, and three quarterbacks is likely.

All eyes are on Alexandre Lacazette, formerly of Arsenal and Lyon, who has chosen Saudi Arabia for next season. Other notable foreigners include Ivorian Amadou Koné, ell’former Watford and Everton Abdoulaye Doucouré, who landed in the SPL after nine years in the Premier League.
