VenueStadio Olimpico, Roma (Roma)
All Lazio neighbors at the top of the table in this round celebrated, so team of Reja must win at the Olimpico if they want to keep the connection.
Reja is aware of the importance of the match:
We need to get back on the path from which we turned a few weeks ago. Novara is a very dynamic team and it could create problems to us. We have to be 100% in the game and we have the necessity of achieving positive results that we need to push us towards positions that we held recently.
At the top of the attack will be Klose and instead Cisse `s it supposed to play an experienced Rocchi, and it is expected that the French get a chance in the match. Edy Reja does not count on seriously injured Mauri, while several players are easily injured. From important players these are defender Dias, midfielders Brocchi and Matuzalem
Novara is the typical host team, which only get victories achieved in front of their fans. The first came at the start of the season against a strong Inter and the other week against Parma.
Recently, Tesser´s team works quite well, and their good form they confirmed on Tuesday in the final Cup match in Sicily when they with two goals kicked Meggiori Catania
Tessera is full of confidence before going to the Olimpico:
Lazio? They are wrong who think that we are defeated before the match. Lazio does not go trough good moments now,but they have very good players who guarantee the quality of the team. To make the result of the Olimpico it is required performances described in superlatives. We will try to give the best we can. Win over Catania shows that the team rises and becomes aware of its value.
Tessera has many problems with absences before going to Rome. Hero of the victory over Catania Meggiorini was suspended, as an important defender Gemitija. With them, for the game can not compete, again injured Morimoto, Pinardi, Paci and Lisuzzo. Paci is the standard in the last line, Pinardi in the midfield , and Morimoto is the best striker in the team..
On the other hand,Edy Reja is expected to welcome back Cristian Ledesma into the first line, and Lorik Cana probably be the sacrificed man.
