Serie A’s form side Lazio face their arch-rivals, Roma, at the Stadio Olympico on Sunday in the Derby della Capitale.
Lazio have won their last 11 Serie A matches and are now just six points adrift of champions Juventus with a game in hand.
Roma, on the other hand, have been stuttering in recent weeks, losing two of their last three league matches and sit seven points behind Lazio in fourth.
The form of Ciro Immobile has been crucial for Lazio, with the Italian scoring 23 goals in just 19 Serie A appearances, while Roma have scored just 37 goals all season.
Team news
Roma will hope to welcome back Brian Cristante and Javier Pastore for this game, but Justin Kluivert is likely to still be out.
Davide Zappacosta and Nicolo Zaniolo are still at least a month away from a return.
Lazio will hope to have Joaquin Correa and Lucas Leiva available for the match on Sunday, although both are doubts at this stage.
Danilo Cataldi and Ricardo Kishna will both miss out through injury, while the status of Adam Marusic is currently unknown.
AS Roma vs Lazio Prediction
These two sides drew 1-1 when they met in September, although Lazio are now a different animal for Roma to contend with.
With 46 goals in 19 matches, they have been prolific in front of goal, while Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, Luis Alberto and Correa have all impressed in the midfield.
Roma’s home record has also not been strong in recent weeks, losing their last two at the Stadio Olympico, while Lazio have won six times on the road this season.
Roma still have players that can take the game away from Lazio on the day, but given the comparative form of the two sides, it is hard to look beyond a 2-1 Lazio win.
