Verona-Lazio on the pitch at 18.30 LIVE
Lazio will take the field in Verona with two objectives: both come from a victory over the Scala.
First of all, the Biancocelesti want to make up for the defeat against Juventus in the Italian Cup, chasing only one result.
Lazio's second goal is to remain firmly glued to the train that leads to the Champions League, now that Roma - after the victory over Empoli - have come back overwhelmingly ahead.
The Bentegodi opponent, on the other hand, is in desperate need of points, since they occupy third bottom place in the table (with only 13 points, but two victories have come in the last four games).
As for the anti-Verona formation, Maurizio Sarri will send Milinkovic-Savic back onto the pitch from the 1st minute, after partially resting him against Juventus.
The contribution of the midfielder (who will be joined by Cataldi and Luis Alberto) is too important not to deploy him;
just as it is essential for Ciro Immobile to regain playing time and confidence with the field: the campitano will be the owner.
The extra man in the Biancoceleste attack trident is Mattia Zaccagni, formerly on duty for the match, together with Nicolò Casale: the left wing is experiencing the season of consecration (8 goals with four assists) and will hardly have pity on the team with which came to light.
Ready to take over from the bench, to make number 20 Felipe Anderson catch his breath, is Pedro, who has never scored at Verona.
The Bentegosi challenge could also be an opportunity to see Luca Pellegrini make his debut: the left-back, ex Roma and Juve, bought in the winter transfer market,
he chose the number 3 shirt. The last precedent between Verona and Lazio in the Veneto region smiled at the hosts: it ended 4-1, with Diego Simeone's poker.
But it was another Lazio, which had not yet implemented the dictates of Sarri, as the current one did instead.
