Match Preview
The Yellow and Reds welcome Lazio Roma to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday for this Serie A match. This is the Derby della Capitale, or Capital Derby in English, and is considered one of the fiercest intra-city derbies in world football.
I Giallorossi have the upper hand in the head to head, with 55 wins to Lazio Roma's 40, from their 155 encounters. As the home side in the derby, this is even more pronounced with nearly twice as many wins as Lazio; 30 wins to 14.
AS Roma come into the match on a run of eight league games undefeated. They have picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
La Maggica shared the points in their last league match away to Udinese Calcio. Expected goals of 1.1 to 0.9 in favour of Roma indicates both teams probably deserved only a point.
In truth though, Udinese were by far the better side for 90 minutes and were well worth the lead they held from the 14th minute. I Giallorossi were awarded a penalty deep in injury-time which Lorenzo Pellegrini stepped up to convert for his side. Pellegrini now has seven league goals this season for Roma and is 3.75/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-1.
Their opponent on Sunday, Lazio Roma, come into the match on a run of four away league games undefeated and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two league matches. They have picked up 13 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The White and Sky Blues won their last league match at home to Venezia. Expected goals of 1.5 to 0.4 in favour of Lazio indicates it was likely a fair result. Like Roma, Lazio’s only goal came via the penalty spot with Ciro Immobile doing the honours here around the hour mark. His goal proved enough to secure all three points against Venezia. Immobile now has 21 league goals this season for Lazio and is 1.83/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-0.
