Sassuolo is preparing to challenge Lazio in a match that promises to be full of tactical surprises. Coach Aquliani has outlined a formation that includes, for the first time, the replacement of Berardi with Volpato on the right wing, while the defense is based on a combination of players that he has not yet defined with certainty.
On the Sassuolo pitch, Turati should start slightly ahead of Muric, after his spell with Como. In the defensive side area, the choice between Cinquegrano and Van der Brempt remains open, with Doig expected to return to the starting position on the left. In the centre, Caleta-Car and Odenthal are the main candidates, while in midfield the presence of Lipani is expected, who could compete with Adzic and Bakola to complete the department with Matic and Thorstvedt. A possible rest is scheduled for the Serbian, while the team opposite could see a turnover up front, with Volpato taking Berardi's place and Sebastiano Esposito a candidate to return to the field from the first minute. Laurienté is expected on the left.
For Lazio, Gennaro Gattuso kept his lineup almost unchanged compared to the last match against Parma. The Calabrian coach decided not to make calculations and to limit the change to just one insertion. Diogo Leite could make his debut in the starting lineup ahead of Mandas, after a good performance against the Ducali, while Provstgaard would be rested. The defense remains with Sutalo and the full-back pair Floriani and Mussolini on the right, Nino Tavares on the left. In midfield, Taylor, Belahyane and Frattesi play from the start, with Cataldi hoping to make his debut. The attack is made up of Noslin in the centre, Isaksen on the right and Zaccagni on the left, while Pinamonti remains on the bench due to tracheitis.
The match therefore promises to be a comparison of strategies, with Sassuolo trying to exploit the freshness of Volpato and the flexibility of Turati, while Lazio focuses on the defensive solidity of Gattuso and an attack made up of already consolidated players. Fans can expect a dynamic match, in which the tactical decisions of both coaches will be decisive for the final result.
