Next on the list is a game away against Catania who are way below us in the table and just recently tied Bari 1-1 last weekend. Catania is a team who despite their spot on the table showed only 2 weeks ago that they can pull a surprise as they smoked Palermo 4-0.

We have only 2 home games of the remaining 6 matches. However, thankfully Lazio isn't a team to be taken lightly at away games as we've clearly shown in San Paolo despite the controversial calls from the ref.

Hopefully the loss from the derby and napoli have fuelled this team to make up for the heartbreaking losses and make up ground by making Champions League.

Our years best player and top scorer has recently rallied the team that they must make champions league. I think last weekend against Parma we saw that hernanes is key.

We will also see the return of Mauri and Biava who are returning from red cards.

I think Reja should start Zarate on the bench this time and put in floccari, kozak or even rocchi hopefully. Zarate has proven for the umpteenth time that he is selfish and adds nothing to the game. I'll even go as far as saying Sculli has proven more valuable then Zarate.

Forza Lazio!

I'll agree to have Floccari start over Zarate and even Rocchi but never Kozak or that fat fuck Sculli.

Floccari - should start along with Sculli, but i predict Zarate in the second half. I don't see anything see any major changes up front.

In my opinion,

I think starting Kozak wouldn't be a bad idea. This kid really never got a fair shot and his goal scoring average is still higher than all our strikers and he can be used for aerial balls.

Albeit Sculli is Balls .. Fat Balls .. i've come to terms that his role is not that of a goal scorer but someone who can cross and to his defense he played pretty decent in the last match and he really fights for balls .. despite being balls himself. He tracks back and isn't greedy.

I do want to see Rocchi play, but he hasn't played in so long, who knows if he still has it or has fallen out of form. I really don't know what to expect but I do want to see some playing time given to il capitano.

Good point about Catania being desperate now as they are 5 points above relegation, however we got the 3 points against parma and they are even worse off. I think we should be equally as desperate to make CL as everything comes down to hanging on for the next 6 matches.

I agree that this win is crucial (who isn't?). Roma with a win I predict so too keep them at some distance we need 3 points. Udinese have a really tough game and I expect them to lose. A win for us could get us a 4 point cushion on the 5th place with 5 games remaining.

I agree with the Zarate fan. play him for the rest of the year (but still sell him for around 20m, if you can) we really need to try Floccari out wide along side Zarate up front. if Zaza doesnt work pray that Rocchi can come in and..... well do what he does (score). 3 points or bust. having Biava back with Dias our defense should be more than capable.

Last time around Catania really played well and deserved their point. They have dropped a few positions on the table since then but seem to be in good form under Simeone's command. Now we must give nothing away. I would really like to see us to go for the jugular with two strikers, whoever they may be, and pound them into submission before the second half. Might not work out too well in Reja's mind so I guess the most interesting thing will be who is going to start as a striker and who of the Palle/Mauri/Gonzalez trio will start alongside Hernanes.

Radu has recovered and set to play on Sunday.

i agree. Having Radu back is a big boost for us and hopefully Mauri will play as he did against Napoli. Biava is back as well .. so we should have an additional 3 well rested players back in the lineup.

Time to break Catania's home streak!

 

FORZA LAZIO!
