Lazio are without Lucas Biglia and look to Ciro Immobile for today’s intriguing clash with Massimo Oddo’s Pescara.

The Aquile have had a mixed bag so far this season, winning the opener 4-3 at Atalanta, losing to Juventus and then drawing 1-1 away to Chievo.
Simone Inzaghi has to do without injured Biglia and Ricardo Kishna, so Danilo Cataldi takes the midfield reins with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Felipe Anderson and Filip Djordjevic provide support for ex-Pescara striker Immobile in a surprise 3-5-2 system.
Luis Alberto arrived from Liverpool on transfer deadline day and he is on the bench awaiting his Serie A debut.
Pescara’s performances have not always translated to results, even if they were able to hold Napoli 2-2 and beat Sassuolo via the courts after the fielding of an ineligible player.
Last week they had taken the lead against Inter only to be overturned by a late Mauro Icardi brace.
Coach Oddo is an old hand at the Stadio Olimpico, having played here, and is up against another ex-Lazio player in Inzaghi.
He sticks with his exciting brand of football, though Andrea Coda and Jean-Christophe Bahebeck are on the treatment table.
It’s also a special match for Valerio Verre and Gianluca Caprari, former Roma youth team products.
Pescara haven’t beaten Lazio in Serie A since March 1980, managing two draws and four consecutive defeats.
