Lazio pre-season friendly confirmed

Coppa Italia winners Lazio will be taking on AFC Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium in the latest game added to the pre-season schedule.

The friendly will take place at the home of the Cherries on Friday 2nd August with a 7.45pm kick-off. Ticket details for the match will be announced in due course.

The Serie A side join Brentford as the Cherries' schedule of warm-up matches continues to take shape ahead of the 2019/20 Premier League season.

Led by head coach and former striker Simone Inzaghi, Lazio won the Coppa Italia earlier this month thanks to a 2-0 win over Atalanta, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Joaquin Correa scoring the goals to secure the Biancocelesti their seventh cup victory.

The side are currently sat eighth in the Serie A table, with one game left of the season in Italy.
