Borussia (D) – Lazio: bookmaker odds
Lazio have enough problems: the team is in ninth place in Serie A, and the club from time to time is immersed in scandals. At first, the Romans were involved in a high-profile investigation of the “case of Immobile and Leyva”, who, being “covid”, played with “Torino” in the championship. Then Luis Alberto criticized the club president’s decision to charter a plane, telling the world that the club was delaying the payment of salaries to players. On the eve of the match with Dortmund with the “Águilas”, another misfortune happened: at the age of 75, the club’s public relations director, Arturo Diaconale, died, who, in addition to his direct duties, served as Lotito’s advisor .. .
Borussia (D) – Lazio: approximate lineups
On the last day of Serie A, “Lazio” lost at home to “Udinese” with a score of 1: 3, and Simone Inzaghi described this defeat for his team as “deserved and ugly”. Few fans of the team understood the coach’s decision to replace one of Biancocelesti’s best players, Luis Alberto, with a substitute striker, Caicedo, with the score 0: 2. After the game, Simone explained the decision due to the exhaustion of everything the team – “and Alberto is no exception.” Furthermore, the coach made it clear that he would gladly release Sergei Milinkovich-Savich to replace him, if he was ready to enter the field. Unfortunately, after recovering from the coronavirus, the Serbian midfielder spent only two training sessions. Inzaghi thought about pitching it for the last 20 minutes, but after consulting with the player himself, he abandoned the idea.
Portal Lazio Siamo Noi predicts that in the game against Borussia Milinkovic-Savic he will be in the starting lineup. And these guys are rarely wrong. The journalist of the publication Carlo Roshito points out that Inzaghi has doubts on all lines, even with regard to the goalkeeper.
Dortmund have a confirmed defeat (Meunier) and two players in doubt (Guerreiro and Gian). The Portuguese stretched his thigh muscles and in the last few days he trained in an individual program, and the German of Turkish origin received a painful blow in the last match of the championship with “Colonia”. Kicker points out that in Meunier’s absence, there are three contenders for the right-back position: Morey, Pischek and Passlak. But since the first two did not take shape, Felix is considered the favorite.
A variant with a three-defender scheme is also possible (as it was in the Roman match), but this requires the left central player to play Guerreiro, and the right central – Jan.
Borussia (D) – Lazio: author’s forecast
In Dortmund, the match for the first place in Group F. Theoretically, “Bruges” can still compete for the second row, but for this the Belgians need to defeat “Zenith” with “Lazio” and wait for the defeat of the Romans in Dortmund. The probability of such a result, of course, exists, but, as you see, it is small.
“Lazio” unexpectedly beat Dortmund on their own ground, but to some extent that victory can be explained by Inzaghi’s over-motivation. The Orlov manager was very angry with his team after the 0-3 loss to Sampdoria, and immediately after this loss he promised that the fans would see the reaction.
After the defeat against Udinese, Inzaghi said nothing of that. He himself understands that it will be very difficult to remove the glasses from Dortmund. Borussia does not have Meunier and Guerreiro and Jan are questionable, but Holland is in complete order. This Norwegian has not gone anywhere.
