AS Roma vs. Lazio Predictions

• When: Sunday, May 17, 12:30 pm CET
• Where: Olimpico, Rome, Italy

Two of the fiercest rivals in Italy clash in a very important game this Sunday. Derby della Capitale might decide who goes to the UEFA Champions League next year. While Roma currently sits 4th in the Serie A standings, they are under pressure from behind, with Como trailing by 2 points. The hatred and rivalry between Lazio and Il Lupi is enormous, and the Eagles will certainly try to beat their rivals and prevent them from reaching their goal.

AS Roma vs. Lazio Preview

AS Roma

Il Lupi has one of the best defenses in Europe, and the second-best in Italy. Gasperini was an offensive mastermind in Atalanta, but has now completely switched his tactics and game plan, becoming a defensive guru.

Toma comes into this event with high spirits and an excellent form. Il Lupi has 4 wins and one tie in the last 5 events, riding a three-game triumphant streak.

When speaking about the defense, this unit hasn’t allowed a goal in three of the previous 4 Serie A fixtures at home, which, again, tells nothing but praises about its defense.

Lazio

The Eagles’ focus was on the Coppa Italia finals, where they met with Inter this Wednesday night. Though no matter the result in that one, an imperative of the win will be present on Sunday night. Simply, games against Roma are more than regular ones.

Overall, we have to say that Lazio has played well in recent times. Apart from losing Inter at home in the meaningless Serie A game, 0-3, they had 6 consecutive matches at Olimpico without a defeat.

This team isn’t as confident at home as before, but overall, we can say that they play interesting football. The goal difference Lazio has at the Olimpico after 18 matches is 25-24, with them posting 7 wins, 6 ties and 5 defeats.

AS Roma vs. Lazio Predictions

Roma is in better shape, though that doesn’t have to mean anything in Derby della Capitale. Still, Il Lupi’s defense is what defines their performances, and we are sure that Gasperini won’t be offensive-minded that way, and that, on the other hand, Lazio too will apply a cautious approach. That’s why we take under 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
