The wait is over for Lazio fans as they prepare to take on Twente in the Europa League at 9pm, with both teams looking to continue their strong starts to the competition. The Italian side has enjoyed two wins in two games, defeating Dinamo Kiev and Nice, while Twente has also claimed five points in its first two matches, including a victory over Inter Milan.
As Lazio looks to maintain its push for a top spot in the group, the pressure is on to deliver a win in the away match. The Italian side has faced criticism in recent weeks following a disappointing defeat to Juventus in Serie A, and a loss against Twente could further exacerbate tensions.
In contrast, Twente has shown promise in the Europa League, with a strong performance against Inter Milan in the opening round. The Dutch club is looking to make a statement against a top-tier Italian side and gain some much-needed momentum.
The two teams have released their official lineups, with Twente opting for a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Unnerstall in goal, Van Rooij, Hilgers, Bruns, and Salah-Eddine in defense, and Regeer and Vlap in midfield. Van Wolfswinkel, Steijn, and Van Bergen form the attacking trio, with Lammers leading the line.
Lazio, meanwhile, has chosen a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mandas in goal, Marusic, Gigot, Romagnoli, and Pellegrini providing the backline. Vecino and Dele-Bashiru man the midfield, with Tchaouna, Pedro, and Zaccagni forming the attacking trio, and Dia leading the line.
As the two teams take to the field, the stakes are high, with both sides looking to make a statement in the Europa League. Will Lazio be able to bounce back from their recent struggles, or will Twente continue its strong start to the competition? The action begins at 9pm, and Calciomercato will be providing live updates throughout the match.
