Maurizio Sarri already has a clear plan for Lazio’s upcoming Derby della Capitale against Roma, with only one real doubt.
The upcoming derby between the two Roman sides is key at this stage in the season, as both sides fight desperately to secure European qualification. The Biancocelesti currently sit 5th in the table, one point ahead of both the Giallorossi and Atalanta.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Sarri has already practically chosen his starting lineup for the derby, with the only doubt surrounding veteran defender Stefan Radu.
Zaccagni Ruled Out of Lazio’s Upcoming Derby Against Roma Due to Suspension
Mattia Zaccagni’s suspension means that Lazio’s attacking trident will be made up of Pedro, Ciro Immobile and Felipe Anderson. Lucas Leiva is set to get the nod over Danilo Cataldi in the midfield, joining Luis Alberto and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Sarri’s main doubts for the derby against Roma surround the defence; if Radu recovers from his heel problem he’ll play on the left with Adam Marusic on the right, and Luiz Felipe and Francesco Acerbi in the centre. If he’s unable to play, Sarri would deploy Marusic on the left and start Manuel Lazzari on the right.
