Lazio Probable Lineup vs Venezia: Two Doubts in Attack

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso is expected to confirm the bulk of his starting lineup when his team takes on Venezia at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Saturday (20:45 CET).

Lazio Enjoying Stellar Start

The Biancocelesti have yet to taste a league defeat this season. After three straight wins, they settled for a 2-2 draw against AC Milan in their most recent outing. The players’ performances against Ruben Amorim’s men have given Gattuso little reason to tweak his lineup.

Danilho Doekhi Will Be on The Bench

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the manager will keep the backline in front of Christos Mandas intact. Despite Danilho Doekhi’s return after hand surgery, Josip Sutalo should maintain his place alongside Oliver Provstgaard, with Nuno Tavares and Romano Floriani Mussolini on the flanks.

Lazio Midfield Trio Remains Intact

In the middle of the park, Gattuso confirmed Danilo Catladi is fully available again, while Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is fit, but might not be risked. The 48-year-old will almost certainly reconfirm the trio of Davide Frattesi, Reda Belahyane and Kenneth Taylor.

Cancellieri & Isaksen Hoping to Keep Their Places

On the other hand, Lazio’s attack trident remains far from certain, with only Mattia Zaccagni guaranteed a starting place. The source tips Gattuso to field Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin once again after scoring last weekend. This is also supported by Sky Sport Italia, who expect Gattuso to rely on the same attacking trio.

However, La Gazzetta dello Sport sees Andrea Pinamonti as the favourite to lead the line. The pink newspaper also gives Gustav Isaksen a 40% chance to replace Cancellieri on the right wing.

Lazio Probable XI (4-3-3): Mandas; Floriani Mussolini, Sutalo, Provstgaard, Tavares; Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor; Cancellieri (Isaksen), Noslin (Pinamonti), Zaccagni.
