Roma vs Lazio Prediction & Preview

As the anticipation builds for the last Derby della Capitale of the season, fans are eagerly awaiting the clash between bitter rivals Roma and Lazio at the iconic Stadio Olimpico.

With both teams vying for bragging rights and crucial European places, the stakes are high for this much-anticipated encounter.

Recent Form of Roma

Roma enters the derby with concerns over their attacking prowess, having struggled to find the back of the net in recent matches.

Despite their defensive stability under the guidance of manager Daniele De Rossi, they have faced difficulties in front of goal, managing just one goal in their last three outings across competitions.

Recent Form of Lazio

In contrast, Lazio comes into the derby buoyed by a morale-boosting victory over Juventus in their previous fixture.

Under the stewardship of new manager Igor Tudor, Lazio displayed solidity at the back and will be looking to carry that momentum forward into the derby clash.

Despite facing challenges in March, the recent win has injected confidence into the squad.

Historical Context of the Derby

Recent editions of the Derby della Capitale have been characterized by tight encounters with few goals scored. Both Roma and Lazio have showcased defensive resilience, resulting in matches that often end with minimal scoring.

Lazio, in particular, has enjoyed success in recent meetings, winning three and drawing one of their last four clashes against Roma.

Betting Preview

Considering the recent defensive performances of both teams and the historical trend of low-scoring derbies, betting on Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.70 presents an attractive option for punters.

Furthermore, despite Roma being slight favorites, Lazio’s recent form and historical dominance in the fixture make backing Lazio to avoid defeat at odds of 1.70 a prudent choice.
