The big game in Serie A this weekend will see two bitter Rome rivals collide at the Stadio Olimpico. Both Lazio and Roma have recovered well since starting the new season slowly, but which side will claim the bragging rights this weekend?
A huge match in Serie A this weekend will see the two Rome giants collide for the first time this term. Lazio will have the home advantage on Sunday, as they bid to bounce back following defeat in their most recent fixture. That loss saw Lazio drop to tenth in the standings, as their three-match winning run was brought to a swift end.
However, a victory for the hosts this weekend will see Lazio move up to sixth in the standings. They would have been disappointed with their effort last weekend in Serie A, as they dropped to a 1-0 loss on the road against Bologna. Lazio managed just a single shot on target in that defeat. However, they did bounce back in the Champions League in midweek with a 1-0 success over Feyenoord.
Things are also looking up for Roma coming into this weekend, as Jose Mourinho’s side have won four of their previous five. A second straight success this weekend could see the visitors move to within a point of the Champions League spots. Their character has been clear for all to see in recent weeks, and that was evident once again last time out.
The Italian giants looked to be heading toward a home defeat against Lecce, but goals in the 91st and 94th minutes settled a fine home comeback success. The winning goal in that fixture was netted by Romelu Lukaku, which was Roma’s fifth shot on target in that fixture.
This has been a fixture that Lazio have enjoyed in recent seasons, as they have won each of their previous two showdowns against Roma by 1-0 scorelines. They have also landed victories in three of the previous four. Roma’s only win over that period was a 3-0 success in March 2022. Home wins have been the outcome in five of the previous six.
Lazio have been in fine form against Roma in recent seasons, and confidence would have been gained following their midweek win over Feyenoord. Therefore, it could be worthwhile siding with the hosts to continue the home advantage in this fixture over recent seasons.
