-----------------------------
Lazio and Roma are set to face off at StadioOlimpico in the latest chapter of their long-standing rivalry, which began in 1929. The match holds significant importance as both teams are competing closely for a top-four position in the Serie A standings. Roma's recent improvement in form has brought them level with Lazio, intensifying the stakes of this crucial Derby dellaCapitale encounter.
Team Analysis:
Lazio enters the Derby dellaCapitale with concerns over recent performances, having secured only one win in their last six Serie A games, which has put their Champions League hopes at risk. Despite a narrow victory against Atalanta, their overall form remains inconsistent.
Roma, on the other hand, has shown greater stability, especially in derby matches, keeping clean sheets in their last three and aiming to achieve a league double over Lazio for the first time since 2016. The rivalry, known for its intensity, remains one of Serie A's most volatile fixtures, marked by a high number of bookings, including a recent red card incident involving Taty Castellanos.
Player Situation:
Lazio is expected to make several changes following a poor midweek performance, with key players like NicoloRovella and goalkeeper Ivan Provedel returning to the lineup. Taty Castellanos, previously suspended and recently back from injury, may start, while MattiaZaccagni and Pedro are also in contention for attacking roles. Only Patric and Nuno Tavares remain unavailable.
Roma, meanwhile, will miss Saud Abdulhamid and Paulo Dybala due to injury, though Alexis Saelemaekers returns from suspension. In Dybala’s absence, ArtemDovbyk, SerieA’s Player of the Month for March, is a likely starter, with EldorShomurodov, Matias Soule, and Lorenzo Pellegrini competing to join him in the attack.
Result Prediction:
Lazio and Roma rank among Serie A’s top teams for goals scored in the final 30 minutes of matches, suggesting a late-game shift is likely in their upcoming clash. With both sides pushing for a Champions League spot, the match is expected to be open and competitive, potentially giving Roma an opportunity to take advantage of Lazio’s recent defensive struggles.
Predicted Result: Lazio 1-2 AS Roma
