Lazio Prepares for Crucial Match Against Pisa in Serie A

ROME, ITALY – JULY 15: SS Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri is evaluating his options ahead of Thursday’s Serie A match against Pisa. The Biancocelesti, who started their season poorly, are now unbeaten in their last four games.

As the team prepares, Sarri is considering lineup changes. Midfielder Adam Marusic remains a key player, though his position might depend on the choice of full-back. Luca Pellegrini, returning from injury, seeks a starting role as the only natural left-back available since Nuno Tavares is sidelined.

However, team officials were impressed by Manuel Lazzari’s performance against Juventus, which puts him in favor for the right-back position over Pellegrini. In addition, Sarri might rest Boulaye Dia due to chronic ankle issues, potentially allowing Pedro to step in as a False 9.

The anticipated starting lineup is expected to include Ivan Provedel in goal, with a defense of Lazzari, Mario Gila, and Alessio Romagnoli. The midfield will consist of Matteo Guendouzi, Danilo Cataldi, and Toma Basic, supported by Gustavo Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni on the wings.

In the upcoming fixture, Pisa aims for its first win after returning to Serie A, while Lazio seeks to secure back-to-back victories for the first time since February. This match will be their first competitive clash since 1991.

Historically, Lazio has an edge over Pisa, winning two of their six Serie A encounters, with the most common result being a draw. Current statistics show Lazio undefeated in their away games against Pisa, enhancing the anticipation for a competitive match at the Arena Garibaldi.
