Lazio got the better of Monza on Sunday courtesy of Felipe Anderson’s lone goal on the half-hour mark. It was a defensive masterclass from Maurizio Sarri’s side at Stadio Olimpico as the Eagles recorded just 40% ball possession and three shots on target. It was Lazio’s eight league-win of the season. Such a result helps the Aquile bounce back from successive defeats to Salernitana and Europa League opponents Feyenoord, the latter of which saw them drop down to the third tier Europa Conference League.
Monza, on the other hand, put two goals past Verona without reply on Sunday courtesy of second-half strikes from Carlos Augusto and Andrea Colpani. It was Biancorossi’s fourth league-win of the season. The Lombardy club’s last 10 league goals have been scored by nine different players , only Carlo Augusto has scored twice in that spell.
Lazio strike Ciro Immobile is set to return after several weeks on the sidelines with injury, while Milinkovic -Savic could start in the engine room alongside Cataldi and Vecino.. Anderson is expected to start up front, with Pedro and Cancellieri in support. As for Monza, midfielder Stefano Sensi is sidelined with a knee injury. Petagna could spearhead the attack, with Pessina and Caprari in support.
