Europa League: Lazio vs Real Sociedad – Match Preview
Lazio host Real Sociedad at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening in a crucial Europa League clash. The Italian side are aiming to secure their place in the knockout stages with a positive result.
Coming off an impressive 3-0 win against Hellas Verona in Serie A, Lazio manager Marco Baroni may stick with a similar lineup. However, a few changes are expected, particularly in defense. Christos Mandas is likely to continue in goal for European matches.
Adam Marusic could replace Elseid Hysaj at right-back, while Alessio Romagnoli may come in for Samuel Gigot in central defense. The midfield and attack that performed well against Verona may remain unchanged.
Predicted Lineups
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Rovella, Guendouzi; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos
Real Sociedad (4-4-2): Remiro; Munoz, Aguerd, Zubeldia, Aramburu; Mendez, Gonzalez, Olasagasti, Kubo; Becker, Oyarzabal
