Lazio-Frosinone: probable lineups, time and where to watch the match

Rome 28 December 2023 – Three points to take away your worries and get closer to your goal, a victory to say goodbye to 2023 with a smile, with the awareness of being only at the halfway point of this season. Tomorrow the Lazio will host the Frosinone at the Olimpico, kick-off scheduled for 20pm, in one of the four advance matches of the eighteenth matchday in the top national competition. A Lazio derby for two teams who achieved great satisfaction in 45: second place in Serie A on the biancoceleste side, the return to the first series by the gialloblu. A duel between teams with opposite objectives, but who are looking for victory to experience a peaceful New Year's Eve, awaiting the new year, where both hope to repeat the same feats of the previous 12 months.

Lazio enters the match without it Luis Alberto and looking for answers from Kamada, who will most likely take his place. The Japanese player will almost certainly leave the team next week to join Japan in the Asian Cup, a competition in which the representative of the Land of the Rising Sun aims to get to the end. A convincing performance before his leave could ward off internal transfer rumors and make him regain confidence both individually and in the eyes of the coach and fans. Immobile is also absent due to injury, the attack will be entrusted to taty castellanos, another player looking for redemption after an excellent start, followed by many less convincing performances. A success would allow the Lazio to return to shortening in the rankings Atalanta e Napoli, thus putting pressure on the competitors with a view to fourth place. With the three points, Sarri could put the complicated start to the season behind him, starting the new year late in the standings, but still within a reasonable distance of his goals in the standings.

Il Frosinone for his part he certainly won't want to facilitate the Biancocelesti's race towards fourth place. The training of By Francesco it is among the teams that plays the best football in this championship. The enthusiasm around the team has been contagious for weeks, but in recent games the yellow and blue have suffered a small decline in form. In the last four matches played the Ciociari have obtained just one point in the 0-0 draw against Turin, while he was defeated by Milan, Lecce e Juventus. Winning now would mean having the certainty of finishing the first half of the season above twenty points, in full swing for salvation, thus keeping the red zone away by at least 6 points. A lot on the table for a complicated match like the one against Sarri and his boys. However, if there is one thing that the Lazio gialloblu have taught everyone it is to never take them lightly, also given the clear 0-4 achieved in the Napoli in Cup Italy.

The referee appointment for the 18th matchday of Series A TIM assigned the direction of the race Lazio-Frosinone to Mr Ermanno Felicians of the Teramo section. The match director will be assisted by assistants Lo Cicero and Trinchieri: Fabbri will be the fourth official while Serra and Di Paolo have been indicated in the roles of VAR and AVAR. For the Abruzzo referee this is the eighth direction of the season, the sixth in the top Italian league (2 in Serie B). For him it will be the first career crossing with the Lazio, while there is a precedent between him and the Frosinone, in the last season of the cadetteria, when he directed the 1-1 draw against Perugia last April XNUMXst. 

Probable lineups

Before Provedel the pair of Spanish power plants made up of is ready Patric e Crazy, while on the flanks the choices for the match against Empoli should be confirmed, with Pellegrini on the left to act as a push-back, given Lazzari's absence due to disqualification, and Marusic to play a more covering role on the right. In midfield, as previously written, Kamada will act as left midfielder in place of Luis Alberto, while rovella e Guendouzi they will complete the department in the center and on the right. The attack will fall on the shoulders of Castilians, supported on externals by Felipe Anderson e Weather in Zaccagni.

Bad news for By Francesco on the eve of the match at the Olimpico: Ibrahimovic, recovering from the flu, will also miss this match. Between the posts Cerofolini threatens Turati, but the latter remains the favorite for the starting role. On defense Monterisi, Blame it e Romagnoli. In midfield barrenechea e Brescianini they will do the middle belt, while they act on the outside Gelli right and garritano to the left. Skilled and enlisted Cuni, the Albanian is in the running for a shirt in the trident together with Cheddira, but at the moment the favorites to start are Harroui, Kaio Jorge e Soulé.
