The 12.30pm match at the Olimpico sees Ranieri's team face Pecchia's in what appears to be a battle for survival. The day ends with the dispute between Monza and Juventus, with Nesta needing a reaction from his players
The only possible result for Ranieri is victory, given that Parma are only one point behind and the relegation zone is just two points away. The Giallorossi coach seems ready to deploy Dybala and Saelemaekers in support of Dovbyk, while his rival Pecchia could focus on Hernani as a central attacking midfielder behind Bonny.
Probable lineups:
Roma (3-4-2-1)
Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Celik, Koné, Paredes, Angelino; Dybala, Saelemaekers; Dovbyk. All. Ranieri
Parma (4-2-3-1)
Suzuki; Hainaut, Delprato, Balogh, Valeri; Sohm, Keita; Man, Hernani, Cancellieri; Bonnie. All. Pecchia.
The Penzo safety clash sees Di Francesco focusing on his faithful Nicolussi Caviglia as director and captain Pohjanpalo in attack. Nicola, who is looking for a victory to get out of the relegation zone, seems oriented towards leveraging the attacking duo of Lapadula and Piccoli.
Probable lineups:
Venezia (3-4-2-1)
Stankovic; Idzes, Sverko, Altare; Zampano, Andersen, Nicolussi Caviglia, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Busio; Pohjanpalo. All. Di Francesco.
Cagliari (3-5-2)
Sherri; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Zortea, Marin, Makoumbou, Deiola, Augello; Lapadula, Piccoli. All. Nicola.
Gasperini, with the aim of continuing to grind out victories, lines up the eleven of the great occasions. At the top there will be Retegui with CDK and Lookman behind him. D'Aversa, however, focuses on the double forward formed by Esposito and Cacace behind Colombo.
Probable lineups:
Atalanta (3-4-2-1)
Carnesecchi; Koussonou, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, Ederson, Pasalic, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Lookman; Retegui. All. Gasperini.
Empoli (3-4-2-1)
Vasquez; Goglichidze, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Anjorin, Henderson, Pezzella; Cacace, Esposito; Columbus. All. D'Aversa.
Nesta doesn't have much margin for error. And to get an important result today against Juventus he should use his most reliable eleven. Maric should play at the forward, supported by Caprari and Mota. Motta, on the other hand, could deploy Danilo as left back, while up front he will use the irreplaceable Vlahovic.
Probable lineups:
Monza (3-4-2-1)
Turati; Izzo, Marì, Carboni; Birindelli, Bianco, Bondo, Kyriakopoulos; Caprari, Mota; Maric. All. Nesta.
Juventus (4-2-3-1)
Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Danilo; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic. All. Motta.
