Impact Vecino put in an excellent defensive shift from midfield against Bologna on Saturday. He has started three of Lazio's last four Serie A games, and all three have been clean sheets for his side. However, he'll have to miss Sunday's derby with Roma due to yellow-card accumulation. Danilo Cataldi is set to return to the starting lineup in his place.

Manuel Lazzari - Keeps clean sheet in draw Lazzari made two blocks, five clearances and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Bologna.

Impact Lazzari stepped in for a suspended Adam Marusic and helped his side to a fourth consecutive clean sheet in Serie A on Saturday. This was just Lazzari's second start across the last nine league matches, as Marusic has largely taken over as the starting right-back since mid-January.

He has notched two tackles (one won), five interceptions, 11 clearances, and three blocks in the last four matches, with three clean sheets. He should head back to the bench versus Bologna, as both starters will be available.

Ciro Immobile - Invisible versus Napoli Immobile created one scoring chance, drew two fouls, and won three duels in Friday's 1-0 win over Napoli.

He has been held out of the stat sheet in his last five appearances, where he has logged six shots (one on target), two chances created, seven inaccurate crosses, and four tackles (two won). Lazio will visit Bologna Saturday.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - Wins eight duels against Napoli Milinkovic-Savic drew two fouls, had one block, and generated two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 victory versus Napoli.

He hasn't scored or assisted in the last five appearances, where he has tallied nine shots (one on target), eight chances created, four inaccurate crosses, and nine tackles (six won). Lazio will visit Bologna Saturday.
