Referee Fabio Maresca has been assigned to officiate the upcoming Serie A clash between Lazio and Inter.
The Biancocelesti cannot afford to think ahead to their weekend battle with the Nerazzurri as they’re gearing up to face Atletico Madrid in a crucial Champions League outing. The victor secures the top spot in the group, giving them a softer Round of 16 draw.
Inter are widely considered to be one of the main favourites for the Serie A title this season, suffering defeat just once in their first 15 matches of the campaign. When these two teams met last term, Lazio secured a 3-1 win at home but fell in a 3-1 defeat away.

The only way we can win this game is to play the 3-5-2 formation… The 4-3-3 is not helping at all
