Ranieri prepares surprise formation for Rome derby

Claudio Ranieri is keeping all the cards to himself in anticipation of the Derby della Capitale.

The veteran technician is in fact set on keeping his starting line-up for tonight’s match against Lazio a total secret.

As reported by Il Messaggero, the coach did not even reveal to his own men yesterday who will get to feature in Roma’s XI.

Without Paulo Dybala, there is the idea of fielding two strikers and one additional midfielder (either Pellegrini or Cristante).

But everything must be weighed: changing mid-game is a risk, and Ranieri leaves nothing to chance. One thing is certain: with him, a surprise is always around the corner. Whether it’s at the beginning or during the match, it doesn’t matter. The objective remains the same: to win.
