Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is set to face a selection dilemma for the Coppa Italia match against Atalanta, with Gianluca Scamacca likely to replace Raffaele Palladino. According to Football Italia, Sarri has a tough decision to make as he weighs up his options for the key position. Scamacca has been in good form recently, scoring crucial goals for Lazio in their Serie A campaign.
The Coppa Italia match is set to be a closely contested affair, with both teams looking to progress to the next round. Atalanta have been in impressive form this season, with their attacking trio of Luis Muriel, Merih Demiral, and Ruslan Malinovskyi causing problems for opposition defenders. Lazio, on the other hand, have been relying on the goal-scoring prowess of Ciro Immobile to propel them to victories.
