Lazio is anticipated to have Mattia Zaccagni back in their starting lineup for the Serie A match against Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night.
Marco Baroni’s team has a chance to reclaim a Champions League spot in Serie A after Juventus suffered a 4-0 defeat to Atalanta on Sunday. A win in this match would elevate them to fourth place, surpassing Juventus by one point. Udinese’s position in 10th place will remain unchanged regardless of tonight’s game outcome.
Zaccagni, who was absent from the Europa League victory against Viktoria Plzen on Thursday, is likely to rejoin the team’s formation. He is expected to form an attacking trio with Boulaye Dia and Gustav Isaksen. Taty Castellanos is still unavailable due to injury.
Dia might play as the central striker, or the team could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation, positioning Loum Tchaouna as the central forward, supported by Isaksen, Dia, and Zaccagni.
In a 4-3-3 setup, Tchaouna might be replaced by an additional central midfielder, such as Matias Vecino.
Udinese enters this match with momentum, having secured three consecutive Serie A wins. Therefore, significant changes to their lineup for the Lazio game are not expected.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:45 GMT.
