Lazio aims to maintain their current momentum as they prepare for Thursday evening`s league match against Pisa. Maurizio Sarri`s squad is riding high on the enthusiasm generated by their impressive 1-0 home victory against Juventus, marking their fourth consecutive positive result, and a steadily improving league position. The Biancocelesti currently sit on 11 points, level with Cremonese and Torino, and just two points shy of sixth-placed Como. This upcoming away fixture in Tuscany against Alberto Gilardino`s side could prove pivotal in providing a definitive turning point for their season.
The Biancoceleste coach might consider some tactical adjustments to the team`s lineup, focusing more on the players involved rather than the overall system. According to the Roman edition of the Corriere della Sera, one potential option involves deploying Pedro in attack. The experienced Spanish former Barcelona player could operate as a false nine, aiming to disrupt the Nerazzurri`s defensive markers and provide an unpredictable attacking threat.
Furthermore, the physical condition of two key players, Basic and Cataldi, will be closely assessed today, as both sustained muscular discomfort during the demanding match against the Bianconeri. A greater concern, however, surrounds Dia, who continues to experience persistent pain in his right ankle, raising questions about his availability for the crucial encounter.
