Lazio
As Miroslav Klose will still be unavailable, coach Reja should stick
with the two trequartistas: Mauri and Hernanes are going to support
Rocchi. Candreva is working hard for a spot in the starting XI, but he is likely to start on the bench. Lazio finally have their typical defence back after a few injuries.
probable lineups : Marchetti, Konko, Biava, Dias, Radu, Ledesma, Matuzalem, Gonzalez, Mauri, Hernanes, Kozak. (4-3-2-1).

Prediction
Parma are without a win since the start of February, and a very tough
game in Udine lies ahead. As Lecce are closing in and have quite an easy
match at home, it is a must Parma to pick up some points, or relegation
will become a real threat.
Lazio have dropped too many points recently in their chase for a
Champions League spot, but the late winner against Cagliari from Diakitè
and Catania's equaliser in Napoli gave Reja's team an unexpected lead
over their rivals.
Despite sitting at different ends of the table, both teams have to win
in order to keep their respective dreams alive. Reja is starting to
recover some players, but may lack finishing skills as Klose is absent -
a problem shown in the clash against Cagliari. Donadoni is struggling
to find a reliable XI, so the away side may in the end prevail in the
midfield battle, but could also have some problems converting possession
into goals.
Parma 1 - 0 Lazio
