Parma - Lazio
10/01/2021 15:00 Stadio Ennio Tardini After weeks of calls for change, the Parma hierarchy finally gave in this week. Atalanta comfortably saw off Parma 3-0 on Wednesday after which Fabio Liverani would be replaced by the man he took over from in the summer, Roberto D'Aversa. The dismal performance in Bergamo was the final straw for President Krause, who along with the Parma support had endured weeks of torture with Parma registering just one point in their previous five games. A run that would see I' Crociati score just one goal whilst conceding 12. D'Aversa's return to the home bench will certainly give the hosts a boost, however the returning tactician faces a tough challenge with up to seven first team players unavailable, including key players such as Kucka, Gagliolo, Iacoponi and Yann Karamoh. Despite the injury crisis, D'Aversa is expected to welcome back Gervinho and Yordan Osorio with both players returning to full training on Friday. Despite Simone Inzaghi's Lazio's somewhat inconsistent form recently, having won just two of their previous five outings, the Biancocelesti will be in confident mood as they visit struggling Parma. Not only are Lazio up against the worst attack in the league, Lazio have only failed to claim victory once in the previous 11 visits to the Tardini, they'll be confident of making that 12 out of 11 visits come 5pm on Sunday evening. Inzaghi will be without the Injured Lulic, Fares and Correa but will have more than enough to see off D'Aversa's desperate Parma. The last time these sides met at the Tardini was back in February 2020 in front of 1sell out crowd, Felipe Caicedo's goal at the end of the first half was enough for Lazio to return to Rome with all three points.
