Lazio and Parma meet on Saturday, October 24 at 21:45 local time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The Biancocelesti have won six of their opening seven Serie A matches, including a stunning 3-0 victory over Juventus last weekend that keeps them level on points with Inter Milan, second in the table on goal difference. Parma arrive in poor form, sitting 19th with only four points after consecutive 0-3 defeats to Inter Milan and Torino under new manager Alberto Gilardino.
Lazio hold a commanding head-to-head record against Parma, winning 13 of their last 18 meetings with four draws. The Emilian side has lost their last five away league games, with their last road victory coming in April against Udinese. Tijjani Noslin poses a particular threat, having scored twice against Parma last season including a late winner at the Tardini.
Lazio are expected to field a 4-3-3 formation with Mandas in goal and Noslin leading the attack. Parma will deploy a 3-5-2 setup with Corvi between the posts and Romero partnering Lontani in attack.
