1. Lazio is very difficult to understand this year under coach Sarri. Probably they didn't adapted yet his way of football and have very poor consistency.

Currently they are ranked 8th with still some hopes for European competitions. On the one hand, there is an attack that scores 36 goals in 18 games, the 3rd in Serie A. On the other hand, a very poor defense because among the top ten no one has conceded more goals than Lazio.

Some players are penalized and they are not giving their best like Milinkovic-Savic or Luis Alberto.

For this game best scorer Immobile is out because of coronavirus, including also def Hysaj and def Adekanye.

In his place Sarri will probably put again Felipe Anderson, with Pedro and Zaccagni.

Venezia in other hand is having a season over expectations. They are coming from 2 positive results against strong teams like Juventus and Sampdoria. Venezia is ranked 16th with 6 points advantage from relegation zone.

This team plays the best football from all newcomers and built a very good roster with young talents.

However in some games they lack experience and as soon concede something they collapse.

Coach Zanetti apply a similiar football as Sarri but with not much quality.

I think Lazio will be able to win this game despite it looks insidious for them.

Probable lineups:

VENEZIA (4-3-3): Romero; Mazzochi, Caldara, Ceccaroni, Ebuehi; Crnigoj, Vacca, Busio; Aramu, Henry, Johnsen.

LAZIO (4-3-3): Strakosha; Patric, Luis Felipe, Acerbi, Marusic; Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Pedro, Felipe Anderson, Zaccagni.

2. Roma is coming after a very important win against Atalanta 1-4 in the weekend. Very few people would predict such a win for Mourinho's team. The coach said that more important than 3 points was the return to the goal of best player Zaniolo after 500 days.

This win bring a lot of confidence in the team after win against Spezia and CSKA Sofia but also keep Roma closer to top 4 places.

Now the goal is to keep this enthusiasm and consistency even today against Sampdoria.

Out for this game are the long term def Spinazzola and mid Pellegrini.

For the rest seems that Mourinho will put the same team as against Atalanta.

Sampdoria in other hand is coming after 3 positive results consecutive and are comfortable in the rankings.

Goal this year is to avoid the relegation and face the problems that Sampdoria have. Their president was arrested last week and still don't have new owners.

Some important players like def Berezyinski, st Gabbiadini and gk Audero have physical problems but should play at least some minutes.

At this moment Roma is superior and very strong mentally.

Probable lineups:

ROME (3-4-2-1): Rui Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Veretout, Cristante, Vina; Mkhitaryan, Zaniolo; Abraham.

SAMPDORIA (4-4-2): Audero; Bereszynski, Yoshida, Colley, Augello; Candreva, Ekdal, Adrien Silva, Thorsby; Gabbiadini, Caputo.

GL!
