Lazio are struggling badly in Serie A, but can qualify for the next round of the Europa League against Dnipro.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 18.00 GMT, follow the action from this game, Basel-Fiorentina and Club Brugge-Napoli on our LIVEBLOG.

Stefano Pioli is under huge pressure after one point from four Serie A games, which saw the team thrown into an ‘indefinite’ training retreat.

They need only a draw in this match to secure qualification for the next round and currently lead Group G on 10 points to Saint-Etienne’s seven. Dnipro have four and Rosenborg one.

It’s a fall from grace for Ukrainians Dnipro, who were in last season’s Europa League Final against Sevilla, eliminating Napoli in the semis.

Lazio might be struggling in Serie A, but have won their last three European fixtures on the bounce.

They would’ve won the opening game in Ukraine too, except for a last-gasp Yevhen Seleznyov equaliser in that 1-1 draw on September 17.

Keita Balde Diao and Dnipro captain Ruslan Rotan are both suspended, while Lazio also miss Felipe Anderson, Stefano Mauri, Eddy Onazi and Stefan de Vrij.

Antonio Candreva and Ricardo Kishna therefore support Alessandro Matri and Miroslav Klose with Etrit Berisha the regular European goalkeeper.

Ravel Morrison is not even on the bench after reportedly storming out of the training retreat to fly back to England without the club's permission.

Dnipro not only lose Rotan, but Fedorchuk and Ruiz are also injured.

Lazio: Berisha; Konko, Mauricio, Gentiletti, Radu; Parolo, Cataldi, Kishna; Candreva, Klose, Matri

Lazio bench: Marchetti, Hoedt, Basta, Lulic, Biglia, Milinkovic-Savic, Djordjevic

Dnipro: Boyko; Fedetskiy, Gueye, Douglas, Leo Matos; Chygrynskiy; Matheus, Bezus, Danilo, Bruno Gama; Seleznyov

Dnipro bench: Lastuvka, Luchkevych, Anderson Pico, Edmar, Cheberyachko, Shakov, Zozulya
