Coppa Italia: Lazio vs. Atalanta – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV
Daniel Maldini returns to Lazio’s starting XI for a Coppa Italia semifinal first leg against Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT).
Most Lazio fans will continue their protest against President Claudio Lotito, leaving the stadium practically empty even in such an important match.
The Biancocelesti must cope without Toma Basic, Nicolò Rovella and Samuel Gigot, but Mario Gila and Daniel Maldini have returned from injuries and are expected to return to the starting line-up.
On the other hand, Atalanta have travelled to the capital without Ederson, Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori.
Nikola Krstovic is expected to start up front, according to Gazzetta, while Corriere dello Sport claims that Gianluca Scamacca is the favourite to get the nod.
The other first-leg semifinal was played on Tuesday between Como and Inter, ending in a 0-0 draw.
The deciders will be played on April 21 and 22, but dates and kick-off time have not been established yet.
