Lazio is just one place above Roma in the table but there is a 9-point gap between the sides. Roma suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Inter last weekend but form goes out the window for a derby game. Champions League football seems like a distant dream for Lazio as well as they sit in 6th place. They responded to a poor 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina with a 95th-minute winner against Parma.

Likely Winner:

Despite not a lot at stake this season, the intensity of the game will not be hampered. The Derby della Capitale is one of the fiercest games in Europe and neither side will want to drop the ball for this one. They have similar records as well with Rome and Lazio scoring 64 and 61 goals respectively while conceding 56 and 51 respectively. The ROM vs LAZ Today Match Prediction should swing in Lazio’s favour in terms of form but it will be close. They have also won more games than their counterparts but the likes of Mkhitaryan, Mayoral and Pellegrini could make it tough.
