Lazio has never lost against Russian opponents in major UEFA European competition and will try to continue with that streak when they host Zenit on Tuesday evening.
Lazio welcomed Ciro Immobile back as they aim to overtake Borussia Dortmund and top Group F of the UEFA Champions League. The Italian side resumes their European campaign on Tuesday when they face Zenit St. Petersburg at the Stadio Olimpico on matchday four of the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League. The Sky Blues, on five points, have ceded top spot in Group F to Borussia Dortmund. Matchday three was the first time Lazio and Zenit had ever played each other, with Felipe Caicedo's late goal canceling out Aleksandr Yerokhin's first-half opener, resulting in a 1-1 draw at the Saint-Petersburg Stadium. Caicedo has done the same as Juventus in the last game before the break.
Lazio didn't need any last-minute heroics against Crotone as they resumed their Serie A campaign. The rain and wind took center-stage in Crotone, but Lazio adapted better to the environment with Ciro Immobile and Joaquin Correa's goals. There were doubts as to whether this game would go ahead at all following torrential rain and flash floods in Calabria in the hours leading up to kick-off. It did seem for a while as if the conditions would control everything, but Immobile’s diving header on a Marco Parolo cross made the most of the situation. In the second half, Correa managed to dribble to the byline and fire in from the tightest of angles for the second goal.
Lazio's troubles with the coronavirus continued as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Luiz Felipe tested positive ahead of the trip to Crotone. Simone Inzaghi was able to name Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto in his squad, despite the latter criticizing the club on social media for their purchase of a private plane. The treatment room continues to host Thomas Strakosha and Senad Lulic, so Pepe Reina is expected to continue in goal. Inzaghi is likely to rotate his XI as he embarks on a run of 10 games in 33 days.
Lazio (3-5-2): Pepe Reina (GK); Patric, Wesley Hoedt, Stefan Radu; Marco Parolo, Andreas Pereira, Danilo Cataldi, Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, Adam Marusic; Felipe Caicedo, Ciro Immobile
Zenit Saint Petersburg has only won once on Italian soil in five attempts but they are rock bottom with only one point and need to win to keep their hopes of qualifying alive. Following their impressive 3-1 win over Krasnodar before the international break, Zenit Saint Petersburg kept their title challenge alive with an important 2-2 draw away to Akhmat Grozny. Daler Kuzyaev and Dejan Lovren found the net for the defending champions, with Yaroslav Rakitskiy sent off in the final minute. Zenit's last trip to Italy came in the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League campaign, where they lost 1-0 to Torino, although they won 2-1 on aggregate.
Sergey Semak lost right back Vyacheslav Karavaev to injury in the game against Akhmat. Danil Krugovoy may be drafted in as an emergency option. Yaroslav Rakitskiy is suspended for the next league game, so he is certain to start alongside Dejan Lovren. Sardar Azmoun, Magomed Ozdoev, and Sebastian Driussi are doubts for this game, with midfielder Wendel out with a muscle injury.
Zenit St Petersburg (4-1-4-1): Mikhail Kerzhakov (GK), Danil Krugovoy, Dejan Lovren, Yaroslav Rakitsky, Douglas Santos; W.Barrios; Aleksandr Yerokhin, Daler Kuzyaev, Andrey Mostovoy, Yuri Zhirkov; Artem Dzyuba

Lazio managed to get some good results going to a very bad coronavirus crisis, issues with a new contract for Simone Inzaghi and Luis Alberto comments about unpaid wages and their form can even dramatically rise in the next period but they are still unreliable defensively and Zenit should score in the next match.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
