Gattuso to Make One Change to Lazio Starting Lineup Against Juventus

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso is only expecting to make a single change to his starting lineup for the Juventus showdown.

Lazio Travel to Turin for Juventus Clash

After the international break, the Biancocelesti picked up where they left off, beating Monza by three goals to one to remain level on points with league leaders Inter Milan, who have a superior goal difference. However, Lazio's unbeaten run will be put to the test once again this weekend, as they travel to Turin to take on a Juventus side desperate for three points.

Since managers often confirm a winning team, Gattuso is expected to maintain the majority of the starting lineup, especially following an entire week of rest. But according to La Lazio Siamo Noi , the Calabrian tactician will likely make a change in the backline, bringing in Josip Sutalo for Danilho Doekhi.

The two new signings are both right-footed centre-backs. Doekhi began the season as a starter, taking advantage of Sutalo's injury. But when the Dutchman underwent a minor hand operation, the Croatian seized the opportunity to earn his full debut against Milan on the fourth matchday of the season.

Sutalo also started against Venezia before joining his national team's camp, while Doekhi remained at Formello under Gattuso's tutelage. Therefore, the manager opted to reverse the roles in last weekend's contest against Monza, starting the former Union Berlin man alongside Oliver Provstgaard, only to replace them with Sutalo and Diogo Leite in the second half after earning yellow cards.

The Rest of Lazio Lineup Against Juventus

The rest of the lineup should remain intact, with Nuno Tavares and Romano Floriani Mussolini completing the backline, and Reda Belahyane keeping his starting role between Kenneth Taylor and Davide Frattesi despite Danilo Cataldi's return.

Gustav Isaksen is the obvious choice on the right wing amid Matteo Cancellieri's continued absence . The Dane and Mattia Zaccagni will flank the in-form Tijjani Noslin, who still has the upper hand on Andrea Pinamonti, despite the latter's goal against Monza.

Lazio Probable XI (4-3-3): Mandas; Floriani Mussolini, Sutalo, Provstgaard, Tavares; Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor; Isaksen, Noslin, Zaccagni
