Lazio’s Coppa Italia campaign kicks off with a difficult Round of 16 clash with Thiago Motta’s Bologna.
The match between the Biancocelesti and the Rossoblu kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Lazio have recovered after their slow start to 2023 and picked up a hard-fought 2-0 win away to Sassuolo on the weekend, restoring some confidence after dropped points to Lecce and Empoli.
Maurizio Sarri will not be able to count on either Ciro Immobile or Mario Gila, both of whom are out injured.
Bologna also came back from the World Cup break a little sluggish, losing to both Roma and Atalanta, but found their footing with an important 2-1 win away to Udinese.
Thiago Motta will have to do without the injured Kevin Bonifazi, Nicola Sansone, Lorenzo De Silvestri, Nicola Bagnolini and Marko Arnautovic.
Lazio and Bologna met back in August, when the Biancocelesti edged out a 2-1 win at home.
