Lazio vs Venezia | Serie A | Team News & Probable Lineups | OneFootball

The wait is finally over, as Marco Baroni will unveil his Lazio version to the Stadio Olimpico crowds when hosting Venezia on the opening matchday of the Serie A season.

The Biancocelesti are undergoing a drastic summer overhaul, so it will be interesting to see how the team takes shape without departing senators Ciro Immobile, Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson.

Baroni will be without the injured Mario Gila at the back, while Nuno Tavares remains doubtful. Hence, the coach will likely rely on Alessio Romagnoli and Nicolo Casale as centre-backs, flanked by Manuel Lazzari and Adam Marusic. In midfield, Nicolo Rovella is the favorite to start as a deep-lying playmaker supported by Matteo Guendouzi and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.

Taty Castellanos will lead the line while Lazio’s latest signing Boulaye Dia starts on the bench. Newly-appointed club captain Mattia Zaccagni will take his place on the left wing, while Tijjani Noslin and Gustav Isaksen fight it out for a spot on the right flank, with the Dutchman considered the favorite.

LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Dele-Bashiru; Noslin, Castellanos, Zaccagni.

The new Serie A boys remain a work in progress, as they have yet to wrap up their transfer dealings. On his return to the Olimpico, former Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco will have to do without several key players, including the injured Joel Pohjanpalo and Gianluca Busio, as well as Tanner Tessman who is hoping to leave the club before deadline day.

Hence, the Lagunari will rely on Christian Gytkjaer to spearhead a 3-4-2-1 formation, supported by Inter Milan youth product Gaetano Oristanio and Nicholas Pierini.

VENEZIA (3-4-2-1): Joronen; Altare, Svoboda, Sverko; Sagrado, Lella, Duncan, Zampano; Oristanio, Pierini; Gytkjaer
