The Aquile went into the weekend still in joint third place with Roma, only one point ahead of Inter, in the fight for a Champions League spot.
As Roma beat SPAL 3-0 yesterday and Inter visit Chievo this afternoon, the pressure is on Simone Inzaghi’s men.
They risk fatigue after Wednesday’s amazing 4-3 thriller at Fiorentina, which saw Alessandro Murgia sent off.
He is therefore suspended along with Luis Alberto, so Felipe Anderson takes the role of support for Capocannoniere Immobile.
Samp make the trip without Nicola Murru, so Ivan Strinic gets a rare start with Gaston Ramirez behind Gianluca Caprari and Duvan Zapata.
Colombia international Duvan Zapata snatched a last-gasp winner over Bologna on Wednesday evening to keep them in the Europa League hunt, especially after Milan lost to Benevento last night.
The Blucerchiati are without a victory away to Lazio in their last 11 Serie A trips, managing only two draws and failing to find the net on seven occasions.
That includes last season’s epic 7-3 match.
Lazio: Strakosha; Caceres, De Vrij, Radu; Marusic, Parolo, Leiva, Milinkovic-Savic, Lulic; Felipe Anderson; Immobile
Sampdoria: Viviano; Bereszynski, Ferrari, Andersen, Strinic; Torreira, Praet, Barreto; Ramirez; Caprari, Duvan Zapata
