Twente-Lazio: Baroni in Holland to keep the perfect score, lineups and TV times

Enschede 23 October 2024 - The return to the field after the international break was not a lucky one, but four days later, there is already the possibility for the Lazio to redeem themselves and return to grinding out points and victories in the European arena. For the third day of Europa League in fact the white and sky blues fly to the Netherlands where they will face the Twente, the first of two away games in Holland this European season. Kick-off is set for Thursday at 21:XNUMX.

One of the great doubts that accompanied the choice of Marco Baroni on the bench Lazio at the start of the season was his inexperience in Europe. The coach was making his debut this year as a coach in a continental competition, but he certainly did not betray the Biancoceleste tradition. On the contrary, with the arrival of the debut in Europe also arrived one of the best versions of the Lazio team, capable of obtaining 4 successes in as many games. Now they want to reopen this account and start to put a first mortgage, at least on the positions that would be worth one of the places for the play-offs of the eighth finals. The match against Juventus it was very difficult and unlucky: the Capitoline team was disadvantaged by the incidents: from the red card of Alessio Romagnoli, to the referee's complaints for the contact between Patric e Douglas Luiz, even reaching the mocking own goal of Mario gila which costs the Lazio team a potential draw. So much frustration, which can translate into so much energy to be vented on the pitch against the red and white team from the Netherlands. 

But be careful not to underestimate this. Twente. The start of the season in Eredivisie he has in fact told of a Twente perfectly capable of playing for a top position in this station, remaining in contact with the top group at only 4 points from the second Utrecht. The team built is very young and full of talent, in many of its key roles however there are more experienced players, capable of giving support to the immature talent of their teammates. Among the players to keep an eye on there is undoubtedly the Indonesian defender Hilgers, as well as the attacking midfielder Stein, both born in 201, but keep an eye on the midfielder's playing pace Regger, a boy of great awareness and quality, despite his age (born in 2003). Joseph Oosting he is proving to be a valid guide on the bench, capable of making the red and white team play vertical and entertaining football, always putting Lammers, former Atalanta striker, to score all the goals necessary to win the match. Of course, the favourites are all smiling at Baroni and his boys, but keep an eye on the important home field factor By Grolsch Veste, a real melting pot for home fans.

The Montenegrin Nikola Dabanovic He is the referee designated by UEFA for Twebte-Lazio, match of the 3rd day of Europe League scheduled for Thursday 24 October at 21pm. Assistants are the Montenegrins Vladan Todorovic and Hearty Jovanovic. Serbian Milos Milanovic will be the fourth official. Englishman David Coote will be in the VAR room, while his compatriot Stuart Attwell has been designated as the VAR assistant. For the Balkan referee, this will be his eleventh referee of the season, his first in Europa League, after having directed four other international matches, 1 in Champions League, 1 mole Europa League preliminaries hey in Countries League. To these challenges he adds 6 from the top Montenegrin league. For the Montenegrin referee this is the first career clash with Twente, while there is only one precedent, an unfortunate one, with Lazio, when Sarri's team fell heavily in Denmark by 5-1 against Midtjylland in the season of Europa League 2022-23.

Probable lineups

In front of their home crowd, the Dutch team is aiming to get full points, but to overcome this Lazio we will need the best possible team and maybe even something more. Leading the attack will be the former Atalanta player lammers, arrived in the summer from Glasgow Rangers, supported behind by the three attacking midfielders Van Wolfswinkel, Stein e From Bergen in a formation that mirrors Lazio's. Sadilek, one of Twente's most quality players, is still out Oosting will focus on the couple vlap e Regeer, ahead of Kjolo in this three-way ballot for two starting shirts. In defense in front of the posts defended by Understall the four line will consist of FROM red, Hilgers, Burns e Salah Eddine, lined up in this order from right to left.

At Lazio, we should start again with a fairly large turnover, in some cases also linked to the many energies spent in the championship against Juventus. In goal, there will be space for mandas, while Marusic e Pellegrini will be the two full-backs alongside Romagnoli and in all likelihood Leg, the latter making his debut in white and blue. In midfield Vecino could be supported by Give-Bashiru, in a very offensive solution, with Pedro in the centre of the three-quarter line supported on the right by Tchaouna and Weather in Zaccagni on the left. In attack there will be Day, to give Castellanos a rest. Noslin is still out due to suspension.
