AS Roma vs. SS Lazio Preview, Tips and Odds

One of the oldest derby matches is coming on 29 September at Stadio Olimpico, AS Roma facing SS Lazio in a match filled with passion and emotions.
There is no doubt both teams will do everything possible to smash their opponent. The Eagles are flying high as they have won 4 games in a row, including the Europa League clash against Apollon Limassol, moving four points clear of their rivals. On the other hand, Roma are currently struggling as they were crushed by Milan (2:1) and Bologna (2:0) and suffered a draw against Chievo after they were two goals ahead in their last three Serie A matches. Roma’s European trip was disappointing too, with a three-nil defeat from Real Madrid.

Key Players Missing

Diego Perotti has a thigh injury and his comeback is doubtful. Jordan Lukaku and Stefan Radu are still sidelined for the visitors while Valon Berisha and Luiz Felipe are unlikely to get fit enough on time.

It seems like Lazio are in better form judging by the two teams’ latest results but there is no favourite in such a derby match. The Biancoceleste have lost all their rivalries, against Napoli and Juventus, so far. Roma is not in a better position they were defeated by Milan and Real Madrid in the most important games.
Defence is the weak spot of both teams that can be easily punished, so we expect the positioning of many players in the back in an attempt to keep a clean sheet. It won’t be easy having players like Dzeko, Schick, Kluivert against Immobile, Caicedo, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic on the other side.
