Sassuolo on the pitch at 8.45pm today, Sunday 26 May, at the “Olimpico” stadium in Rome, for the match valid for the last day of Serie A at Lazio. The neroverdi are already arithmetically relegated to Serie B after the home defeat against Cagliari in the last round but they aim to end a complicated season in a positive way, which ended with the greetings of the sporting director Giovanni Rossi and mister Davide Ballardini, thanked by the club for the work carried out in recent months during the press conference the day before, despite the failure to achieve salvation.
The referee of the match between Lazio and Sassuolo will be Paride Tremolada from the Monza section. Assistants will be Stefano Del Giovane from Albano Laziale and Davide Moro from Schio. Fourth official will be Giuseppe Collu from Cagliari. Var and Avar will be Matteo Gariglio from Pinerolo and Marco Serra from Turin.
WHERE TO SEE THE MATCH – It will be possible to follow Lazio-Sassuolo on Dazn.
THE LATEST FROM THE FIELD
HERE LAZIO – Some doubts in Mister Tudor’s 3-4-2-1. In the defensive trio protecting Provedel, Hysaj and Patric compete for a place alongside Gila and Romagnoli. On the right wing there is room for Marusic, while on the left it is a run-off between Pellegrini and Zaccagni, with the latter who could also play in a more advanced position in the attacking midfield. In the middle of the pitch Guendouzi and Vecino are playing for a shirt alongside Rovella, while in the attacking midfield, said Zaccagni, the other candidates for two places are Felipe Anderson and Kamada. The first striker role will be held by whoever wins the run-off between Immobile and Castellanos.
SASSUOLO HERE – The usual Berardi and Castillejo are absent, plus the suspended Henrique, sent off at the end of the match against Cagliari, and perhaps Consigli, who didn’t train yesterday due to fever and will be evaluated today. There are many doubts about the formation at Sassuolo, with coach Ballardini explaining in the press conference that the best possible formation will take the field, taking into account the need to grant some space even to those who have played less during the season. We should move towards confirming the 3-5-2 with which the neroverdi faced the last matches: in front of Cragno, on the pitch if Consigli does not recover, probable space for Tressoldi, Ferrari and Viti (Kumbulla and Erlic are in any case candidates for start), while Missori should be confirmed on the right and Doig should play on the left. In the middle of the field, Lipani is almost certain to have a place, while in the midfield role there could be room for Thorstvedt and Boloca. Up front, ballot between Pinamonti and Mulattieri to support Laurientè from the first minute.
