Atalanta will host Lazio for the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final at the New Balance Arena at 20.00 on Wednesday night. The scores are level at the halfway stage of the tie after a 2-2 draw between the two sides at the Stadio Olimpico at the beginning of March. 

The winner of tonight’s tie will go on to face Serie A leaders Inter in the final on May 13. The Nerazzurri qualified after a spectacular late turnaround against Como on Tuesday night, overturning a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 in the final 20 minutes in San Siro. 

For tonight’s semi-final, Palladino is expected to make at least three changes to his starting line-up, with Raoul Bellanova, Giacomo Raspadori and Nikola Krstovic likely to start on the bench. 

That could mean opportunities for the likes of Lorenzo Bernasconi, Nikola Zalewski and Gianluca Scamacca. 

It remains to be seen whether Sarri will go with Daniel Maldini or Tijjani Noslin at the centre of Lazio’s attack on Wednesday evening. 

There are also some doubts over the availability of Adam Marusic, but pre-match reports indicate that he is in line to start. 

Kick-off is due at 20.00 GMT.
