Although Lazio suffered a 4-2 aggregate defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League last-16 tie last month and became the first Italian team to get eliminated from Europe all season, Maurizio Sarri’s side bounced back with a close-fought victory in the Rome derby. Mattia Zaccagni’s lone goal in the second half separated the two sides at Stadio Olimpico and helped the Eagles secure their 15th league-win of the season. One of only two teams to beat league-leaders Napoli in Serie A this term, the White and Sky Blues have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 top flight matches and have not conceded a goal in their last five league-games. Le Aquile have the second-best defensive record in the league this term, having conceded only 19 goals from 27 top flight games thus far.
Monza, on the other hand, have surpassed many expectations in their Serie A debut so far. After the 2-1 win over Empoli, thanks to goals from Patrick Ciurria and Armando Izzo, at the start of March, the White and Reds were forced to share the points against two relegation-threatend opponents, Hellas Verona and Cremonese. Raffaele Palladino’s side produced a dominant performance against Cremonese last time out, having 66% ball possession and recorded seven shots on target, but couldn’t find the winner after Carlos Augusto scored the equaliser in the 69th minute. Meanwhile, Monza have taken 15 points from a possible 39 on the road in the Serie A this season.
Monza Probable Starting Lineup: Di Gregorio, Marlon, Mari, Caldirola, Birindelli, Machin, Sensi, Augusto; Ciurria, Caprari, Petagna
Lazio Probable Starting Lineup: Provedel, Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi, Alberto, Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
