So tomorrow night this game will take a step backwards for the glory of the Madonnina, the scond biggest derby in Serie A and the best in the world in terms of footballing quality.
Will Torino bounce back from their loss to Inter and disappointing point on the road at Chievo?? Will Lazio's super attack, one of Europe's best, be too strong for the Granata?? If this was at the real Olimpico, I wouldn't question a Lazio win, but the Biancocelesti are shiiiiite on the road, and this could come into play.
Last season both games ended equal, 2-2 in Roma in the season opener with Toro being denied a win after a Marco Ballotta howler was strangely disallowed. There wont be a repeat of that though, as "il nonno" has been replaced in the sticks by Juanpi Carrizo, one of the world's best shotstoppers. Return was 0-0 in Torino.
Il Toro can't call upon Aimo Diana and Alessandro Rosina, thanks t suspension and injury, and this makes the job a bit easier for the boys in blue. For Lazio, Tommaso Rocchi could make his return from injury off the bench. No Ousmane Dabo, Francelino Matuzalem or Simone Del Nero to choose from. Delio Rossi will not change the 11 from the side which pumped Fiorentina midweek leaving:
-------------Carrizo
Lichti---Siviglia---Cribari----Radu
----Brocchi--Ledesma---Mauri
------------Foggia
--------Zarate----Pandev
FORZA LAZIO ALE!!
