Lazio team News:

• Romelu Lukaku‘s younger brother Jordan Lukaku, who plays as a left-back, will be missing the game with an injury.
• Lazio will miss another defender in Stefan Radu who is suffering from a knee injury.
• Twenty-six-year-old Italian midfielder Valon Berisha is out of this game as well.

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Possible ins or outs:

• Lazio‘s 2-0 win in the Coppa Italia final over Atalanta was set-up by one goal from substitutes Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. He broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute to settle the nerve of more than 30,000 Lazio fans who flocked inside the Stadio Olimpico.
• The commentator also highlighted about Sergej Milinkovic-Savic‘s stranger relationship with the Lazio fans, who have certainly not been happy of late with his under-par displays this season. In fact, his stock has plummeted to some extent, but the goal in the final should help him with his confidence. So expect him to be on fire for this particular game.
• Also, the 24-year-old Serbian was awarded the best midfielder in Serie A for the 2018-19 campaign, which came as a big surprise for some football fans.

Ronaldo to be given the new Serie A MVP award before Juventus’ game against Atalanta. Handanovic best GK, Koulibaly best defender, Milinkovic Savic best midfielder, Quagliarella best attacker, Zaniolo best young player. I have an issue with more than one of those awardees

• The second goal was scored by Joaquin Correa in the 90th minute. It was a brilliant solo goal from him with his deft touch sending Atalanta’s Remo Freuler wrong-footed, and he made no mistake in sending the ball into the net. Expect him to start the game as well.
• Lucas Leiva is the first name on the match sheet these days, while another former Liverpool player in Luis Alberto is a vital cog in Lazio’s wheel. The duo will be featuring here.
• Manager Simone Inzaghi should stick with more or less the same playing 11 which started the final.
• Though, as mentioned above, Milinkovic-Savic is expected to start, with the 34-year-old Marco Parolo making the way for him.

Probable XI: Strakosha (GK), Felipe, Acerbi, Bastos, Romulo, Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Luiz Alberto, Senad Lulic, Joaquin Correa, Ciro Immobile

Bologna:

• On-loan Atalanta defender Federico Mattiello is the only injury casualty for Bologna at the moment.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Possible ins or outs:

• Mitchell Dijks was handed a straight red card after the end of the full time at San Siro against AC Milan which Bologna lost 2-1 a fortnight ago. Later the punishment was reduced to just 1 game after an appeal from Bologna. The 26-year-old Dutch left-back has already missed one game with a suspension and will be available for selection here.
• Nicola Sansone and Andrea Poli are back after missing the last game through a suspension. The duo started the game at San Siro.
• However, one of them may have to start from the bench as their replacement in the last game, Blerim Džemaili and Roberto Soriano were more than good during the team’s 4-1 win over Parma.
