Lazio Expected Lineup Against Monza: Two Doubts at the BackLazio will return to action on Sunday when they host the newly promoted Monza at the Stadio Olimpico. The contest kicks off at 15:00 local time.Lazio Have an Uneasy Test Against MonzaThe Biancocelesti have an inviting opportunity to extend their positive start of the season and perhaps even improve on their third spot in the table, but Ivan Juric’s team shouldn’t be overlooked, as they haven’t been as poor as their current league standing (16th) suggests.Lazio vs Monza | Where to Watch, Insights, Lineups & PredictionThe Injury FrontGennaro Gattuso will have Fisayo Dele-Bashiru back at his disposal, but he remains without several injured players, namely Adam Marusic, Matteo Cancellieri, and Nicolo Rovella, in addition to Albert Gudmundsson, who could be out for six weeks after dislocating his shoulder while representing Iceland. Danilo Cataldi’s availability remains in doubt.Gattuso Will Confirm the Majority of Lazio Starting LineupAccording to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Gattuso has already selected the bulk of the starting lineup. The in-form Tijjani Noslin should lead the line, supported by Mattia Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen. The Danish winger may not be fully fit, so he could make way for Andrea Pinamonti in the second half, with Noslin moving to the right side.(Photo by Marco Rosi – SS Lazio/Getty Images)In the middle of the park, the manager should reconfirm the trio of Davide Frattesi, Reda Belahyane, and Kenneth Taylor, while Romano Floriani Mussolini and Nuno Tavares will start in the full-back slots.Provstgaard vs Leite, Sutalo vs DoekhiOn the other hand, Gattuso has a major selection dilemma at centre-back. Josip Sutalo and Oliver Provstgaard started the last two games against AC Milan and Venezia, suggesting they’re now the main options in defence. However, the duo have just returned from international duty, while Danilho Doekhi and Diogo Leite have been working at Formello for the last couple of weeks.The OddsSky Sport Italia tips Sutalo and Provstgaard to maintain their starting roles. On the other hand, La Gazzetta dello Sport believes the Dane and Doekhi are the favourites (60%) ahead of the Croatian and Leite (40%).Lazio Probable XI (4-3-3): Mandas; Floriani Mussolini, Sutalo (Doekhi), Provstgaard (Leite), Tavares; Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor; Isaksen, Noslin, Zaccagni.
