Lazio and Parma met at the Olimpico with two teams that decided to keep the same composition as the one that won in Turin. Coach Gennaro Gattuso opted for the same 4‑3‑3 formation used last time, confirming the solidity of his department. The coach chose not to change anything, focusing on continuity and familiarity between the players.
Instead, Alberto Gilardino decided to reform his team, opting for a 5‑3‑2 and discarding midfielder Bernabé. The attacking pair was entrusted to Romero and the young El Bilal Tourè, while Diego Carlos remained in defense, although the midfielder was a bit in the shade during the last match.
Lazio's official lineup includes: Mandas on the left wing, Floriani, Sutalo, Provstgaard and Nuno Tavares in defense; Frattesi, Belahyane and Taylor in midfield; Isaksen, Noslin and Zaccagni in attack. As reserves there are Motta, Renzetti, Doekhi, Diogo Leite, Lazzari, Pedraza, Pellegrini, Cataldi, Dele‑Bashiru, Przyborek, Farcomeni, Cancellieri, Serra and Pinamonti.
For Parma the formation was: Corvi in goal; Carlos, Troilo and Drobnic in defense; Delprato, Ordonez, Sierro, Keita and Valeri in midfield; Tourè and Romero in attack. Reserves include Daffara, Ghidotti, Britschgi, Carboni, Ndiaye, Bernabé, Cremaschi, Fabbian, Lontani, Konate, De Martis, Diallo and Frigan.
Both coaches have asked their players to focus on the result, with Lazio aiming to consolidate their position in the table and Parma looking to improve their form after a series of mixed results. With these formations, the two clubs prepare for a meeting that could influence their path in the season.
