Lazio take on Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico with Loum Tchaouna up front and a chance to overtake Juventus in fourth place.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The home side must cope without Luca Pellegrini, Elseid Hysaj, Valentin Castellanos and Nuno Tavares.

Isaak Touré and Razvan Sava are unavailable for the visitors.

Lazio beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1 in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 last week and will host the Czech side in the return leg this coming Thursday.

Despite the imminent European fixture, Marco Baroni won’t rotate much, picking Mattia Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen on the wings behind the sole striker Tchaouna.

Matias Vecino will join Matteo Guendouzi in the middle of the park. Nicolò Rovella doesn’t start despite serving a one-game ban in the Europa League later this week.

Udinese will line up with the usual 4-4-2 formation with Lorenzo Lucca and Florian Thauvin up front.

Lazio are just two points below fourth-placed Juventus and a win would allow them to occupy a Champions League spot.
