Gattuso Pondering Two Changes in Lazio Lineup Against Cagliari

Lazio manager Gennaro Gattuso is tipped to make a couple of changes at the back when his team hosts Cagliari on Sunday.

The Aquile have been virtually flawless since the start of the season. They are currently riding a five-match winning streak and share the top spot with Inter Milan, having collected 25 points of a possible 27 from the first nine rounds of the Serie A campaign. Therefore, their meeting with the Isolani represents an inviting chance to extend their purple patch.

For the first time this season, Lazio were active in midweek, pummeling Sassuolo by six goals to two on the road. Gattuso only opted to make a single change from the previous weekend’s contest against Parma, bringing on Diogo Leite for Oliver Provstgaard.

Likewise, La Lazio Siamo Noi expects the lineup to remain almost intact for the Cagliari game, as Gattuso limits his changes to the centre-back slots. Provstgaard is expected to regain his starting berth, dropping Leite to the bench. Moreover, the manager is tempted to give Danilho Doekhi a chance, and subsequently rest Josip Sutalo.

Elsewhere, Nuno Tavares and Romano Floriani Mussoloni should occupy the full-back slots as usual, while Reda Belahyane acts as the midfield anchor, operating between Kenneth Taylor and Davide Frattesi. Finally, Tijjani Noslin should lead the line once, flanked by Mattia Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen, as all three attackers produced remarkable performances at the Mapei Stadium.

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