Team News

Lazio
Venezia
  • Tijjani Noslin is set to partner Valentín Castellanos in a pretty attacking formation for Lazio on Sunday.
  • Jay Idzes and Antonio Candela are suspended for this fixture, while Gianluca Busio is expected to return after the international break.

Prediction

  • Expectations around Lazio are low after losing Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto, although they were way past their prime, but most importantly because of the resignation of Igor Tudor due to disagreements with Claudio Lotito on the transfer window strategy after he had impressed in his brief stint with the Biancocelesti last season.
  • This, though, could be a turning point for Fabio Baroni's career, as the former Hellas Verona and Lecce coach will get his first job with a top half Serie A team after keeping the Veronesi up with an impressive 13th place finish.
  • On the other hand, this could be the last chance for Eusebio Di Francesco in Serie A in the near future: newly-promoted Venezia are strong candidates to go down according to most bookmakers, even more with the appointment of Di Fra, who suffered a dramatic relegation with Frosinone last season after a strong start.
