Lazio vs Pisa | Where to Watch, Insights, Lineups & Prediction It kicks off on Saturday at 20:45 CET. Sarri’s men currently sit in 9th place in the table, with no hope of improving their position. Nevertheless, a positive result would allow them to keep Udinese and Sassuolo behind them.
A Night of Farewells for Lazio This match will mark the end of the road for several Lazio players who are expected to leave at the end of the season, in addition to Sarri, who is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Atalanta. But for Pedro, this will be the last match of his legendary playing career, having already announced his retirement from the sport. Pedro to Start the Last Match of His Career According to La Lazio Siamo Noi , the 38-year-old will start on the left wing.
He will most likely leave the pitch to a standing ovation in the second half, although the stands will be virtually empty due to the ongoing fan protest against Lazio president Claudio Lotito. Matteo Cancellieri is expected to play on the right wing at Gustav Isaksen’s expense, while Tijjani Noslin leads the line, thus dropping Boulaye Dia to the bench. Taylor & Rovella Banned For Final Lazio Game The good news for Sarri is that Patric made a swift return from the physical problem he recently suffered, so he will play as a makeshift Regista between Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Toma Basic.
It should be noted that Kenneth Taylor and Nicolo Rovella will be serving one-match bans. Alessio Furlanetto Starts Again At the back, Luca Pellegrini will replace the suspended Nuno Tavares, while Oliver Provstgaard fills in for Mario Gila, who isn’t in his best physical condition. Third-choice goalkeeper Alessio Furlanetto will earn his second start in a row due to the absence of the injured Ivan Provedel and Edoardo Motta.
