Following the October International Break, Lazio resume their Serie A campaign with a trip to Turin to take on the undefeated Juventus in Matchday 8. The contest kicks off on Saturday, 20:45 local time at the Allianz Stadium.
Sadly for Thiago Motta, injuries are beginning to pile up at Continassa. While Gleison Bremer remains the solitary long-term absentee, Weston McKennie, Nico Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners will also skip the weekend’s fixture due to various problems, while Francisco Conceicao will serve a one-match ban after getting himself sent off against Cagliari.
Amidst the lack of options, Motta could entrust the struggling Douglas Luiz with a starting spot behind Dusan Vlahovic, while Andrea Cambiaso might be deployed as an advanced right winger (although Tim Weah is a viable option), with Kenan Yildiz on the opposite side. Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram will maintain their roles in the middle of the park, while Juan Cabal fills in for Cambiaso at left-back.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cabal; Locatelli, Thuram; Cambiaso, Douglas Luiz, Yildiz; Vlahovic.
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos.
