Europa League | Lazio v Ludogrets: Probable starting lineups
As Lazio gear up for their upcoming Europa League fixture, manager Marco Baroni is expected to make several changes to his lineup. This rotation strategy has been a consistent approach throughout the group stage, as the team faces a demanding schedule in the coming weeks, including two matches against Napoli, followed by encounters with Ajax and Inter Milan. The Biancocelesti may be without key players for Thursday’s match. Center-back Alessio Romagnoli, who was substituted at halftime in the previous game against Bologna due to a calf issue, might be rested. Captain Mattia Zaccagni is also doubtful after sustaining a knock. The post Europa League | Lazio v Ludogrets: Probable starting lineups appeared first on FootItalia.com.

The Biancocelesti may be without key players for Thursday’s match. Center-back Alessio Romagnoli, who was substituted at halftime in the previous game against Bologna due to a calf issue, might be rested. Captain Mattia Zaccagni is also doubtful after sustaining a knock. Left-back Nuno Tavares is confirmed to be unavailable due to a muscular injury.
One player to watch is the veteran forward Pedro. The 37-year-old Spaniard, who scored in the 2019 final, has found the net in his last three Europa League appearances. If he scores again, Pedro will become the oldest player to score in four consecutive Europa League matches, surpassing his compatriot Aritz Aduriz’s record.
Lazio’s opponents, Ludogorets, will be missing two Brazilian players, Rick and Caio Vidal, due to suspension. This absence may open opportunities for Bulgarian internationals Georgi Rusev and Ivalyo Chochev to feature in the starting lineup. The Bulgarian side is coming off a 2-2 draw against CSKA Sofia in their domestic league.
Midfielder Pedrinho returns from a one-match suspension and could join Erick Marcus, Ludogorets’ only goalscorer in the competition so far, in the starting eleven. As both teams navigate their respective challenges, this Europa League clash promises to be an intriguing encounter at the Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio: Mandas; Marusic, Gila, Gigot, Pellegrini; Vecino, Rovella; Tchaouna, Dele-Bashiru, Pedro; Dia
Ludogorets: Padt; Fonn Witry, Verdon, Almeida, Son; Rusev, Duarte, Pedrinho, Chochev, Marcus; Duah
