Fiorentina Preview
Fiorentina look to bounce back from their loss to Crystal Palace when they take on Lazio in their upcoming fixture this Monday night.
Paolo Vanoli's side have been in decent form winning their last three matches before the setback, but will be without several key players due to injuries.
Mfon Solomon, Fabio Parisi, Nicolò Fortini, Tariq Lamptey, Moise Kean, and Arnór Gudmundsson are all sidelined. While the club's defense will likely have to adapt without the services of these players.
Lazio Preview
Their opponents Lazio have had a more mixed campaign but have shown resilience in recent matches. Maurizio Sarri's men have managed to come back from behind on several occasions to secure crucial points.
One player they will not have is their defender Maldini who suffered a hamstring strain last week.
Recent Head to Head Encounters
Both teams will have to rely on their attacking prowess with Fiorentina's Harrison and Lazio's Isaksen having shown promising performances of late.
Looking at their recent head-to-head encounters Fiorentina have emerged victorious in two out of their last five matches against Lazio.
The hosts will be keen to capitalize on their opponents' injury woes, but the visitors' experience in big matches may prove decisive in a closely contested match.
Predicted Lineups
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the two teams' lineups, it is expected that both managers will opt for a attacking strategy to capitalize on any openings that arise.
In terms of the actual lineups, it's likely that Fiorentina will start with a defensive-minded approach, using Dodô and Ranieri to marshal their backline.
Gosens will probably continue to operate from the left wing, providing width and support to Harrison's attacking play. Lazio, on the other hand, will likely employ Motta as the last line of defense, supported by the experienced Provstgaard in midfield.
With a strong attacking quartet up front Sarri's men will look to create more scoring opportunities than their opponents.
