Lazio manager Edoardo Reja has said that he wants to see an "aggressive and confident" performance from his players when they face Catania on Sunday.

The Biancocelesti will be looking to win their third successive game away from home and increase their chances of qualifying for a place in Europe next season.

"This is the start of a decisive group of games," he told reporters. "We're in a good period of form and must bring consistency.

"A positive result would give us a better chance of catching those positions that are within our reach. We have vast competition for European places, though, including Verona, Milan and Torino.

"I want to see 90 minutes of an aggressive and confident Lazio. Rolando Maran has returned to Catania and improved matters, as he already knew the squad."

Lazio are currently 10th in the Serie A table.
