Lazio-Dortmund, possible formations

This will be the first time that Lazio has returned to the Champions League since the 2007/08 edition, while Dortmund appears for the fifth time in this competition.

Lazio's technique, Simone Inzagi, is in trouble as some of the leading players like Senad Lulic, Stefan Radu and Andreas Pereira will be missing from Dortmund today, while Luiz Felipe and Baston are in doubt if they can appear.

Looks like Inzaghy's going on today with 3-5-2 formation. But the absence of Radu, Felips and Bastos means the technician will have names in formation like Patric, Francisco Aerby and Wesley Hoedt, even though young Nicolas Armini is looking for the coach to start. Meanwhile, Thomas Strakosha will begin as the team's main goalkeeper. Sergei Milinkov c - Savic will be the undisputed midfield title alongside Lucas Leivas and Louis Albertos, and the attack will be led by Immobile, along with Correan.

At the same time, Dortmund has travelled to Lazios with many shortages starting with Thorgan Hazard, Nico Schulz, Marcel Schmelzer, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and recently Manuel Akanji, who is missing after resulting in positive with Codvid-19. So is midfielder Emre Can after being suspended for this duel. The defense will lead Hummels along with Delaney and Pisczek. 17-year-old Bellingham will probably start in midfield next to Whitel and the attack will certainly not change where the Reus Tribe, Haaland and Sancho will try to lead Dortmund to victory.

The following are the possible formations of the two teams.

Lazio (3-5-2): Strakosha? Patric, Acerbi, Hoedt; Parolo, Milinkovic - Savic, Leiva, Alberto, Marusic; Immobile, Correa.

Dortmund (3-4-3): Burke? Pisczek, Hummels, Delaney; Meunier, Bellingham, Whitel, Guerreiro; Sancho, Reus, Hawaii.
