Lazio coach Marco Baroni is expected to make heavy rotations as his side host Ludogorets on Thursday night, keeping just four players from the starting XI from their 3-0 win over Bologna in Serie A last weekend , including veteran Pedro.
Kick-off will be at 6:45 p.m. CET (5:45 p.m. GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
The Biancocelesti are currently the only team in the competition with a perfect record, having won each of their previous four matches, and Baroni will look to maintain this form relying on Tijjani Noslin in front, with the striker supported by Loum Tchaouna, Boulaye Dia and the former Barcelona star behind him.
The Italian coach will also give backup goalkeeper Christos Mandas his third consecutive Europa League start, while his back four will see Samuel Gigot and Patrick form the central duo, as predicted by Sky Sport Italia.
Vecino should play alongside the almost irreplaceable Mattéo Guendouzi in midfield.
Lazio vs Ludogorets – Pqueues likely
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas; Marusic, Gigot, Patric, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Vécino; Tchaouna, Dia, Pedro; Noslin
Ludogorets (4-2-3-1): Padt; Witry, Verdon, Almeida, Son; Naressi, Chochev; Erick Marcus, Piotrowski, Rwan; Duah.
