Europa League Ro16: Lazio vs. Viktoria Plzen – Official line-ups and updates – Football Italia – March 13 latest

Taty Castellanos is back in the Lazio starting XI for the first time this month as the Biancocelesti take on Viktoria Plzen at the Stadio Olimpico in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday evening.

Kick-off is due at 17.45 GMT.

You can follow the action as it unfolds on the Football Italia liveblog.

Lazio have a 2-1 advantage before kick-off, which means that a draw will be enough to qualify for the quarters. The winner of this tie will go on to face either Olympiacos or Bodo/Glimt in the next round.

There is a return to the starting XI for Castellanos, who has missed the last five games across all competitions with an adductor issue. He starts as the sole striker in a 4-2-3-1 system, with Boulaye Dia among the reserves.

Baroni’s full-strength attacking line-up consists of Gustav Isaksen, Pedro and Mattia Zaccagni in the attacking roles behind the centre-forward.

There will be no Nicolo Rovella or Samuel Gigot for the Biancocelesti on Thursday night, as they were both sent off towards the end of the first leg and will now serve their suspensions. Matias Vecino and Patric come in as their respective replacements.

Lazio vs. Viktoria Plzen: Confirmed line-ups 

Lazio (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marusic, Patric, Romagnoli, Tavares; Guendouzi, Vecino; Isaksen, Pedro, Zaccagni; Castellanos. 

Viktoria Plzen (4-3-3): Jedicka; Dweh, Markovic, Jemelka, Cadu; Sulc, Kalvach, Cerv; Vydra, Durosinmi, Memic.
