Andy Brown — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 09:49:52 +0000

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.

AS Roma vs. SS Lazio Head to Head

Roma has the statistics on their side, having won 22 out of 44 matches. Lazio won 11 games and ended 11 matches in a draw. The Giallorossi had an advantage in the last 10 league games, too – 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat only.

AS Roma Team For

23 Sep 18 Bologna 2-0 Roma
19 Sep 18 Real Madrid 3-0 Roma
16 Sep 18 Roma 2-2 Chievo
31 Aug 18 AC Milan 2-1 Roma
27 Aug 18 Roma 3-3 Atalanta
19 Aug 18 Torino 0-1 Roma

Lazio Team Form

23 Sep 18 Lazio 4-1 Genoa
20 Sep 18 Lazio 2-1 Apollon Limassol
16 Sep 18 Empoli 0-1 Lazio
02 Sep 18 Lazio 1-0 Frosinone
25 Aug 18 Juventus 2-0 Lazio
18 Aug 18 Lazio 1-2 SSC Napoli
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.

AS Roma vs. SS Lazio Betting Tips

On average, both teams scored over 2.5 goals per game in direct matches.
Both teams scored in 3 out of 5 Roma’s league games in the current season.

Lazio interested in signing £22m-rated Premier League ace

Joe Rooney — Sat, 21 Jul 2018 22:12:42 +0000

Serie A side Lazio are reportedly in the running to acquire the services of Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi this summer. The Nigeria international has been a decent performer for the Gunners since making his first-team debut in 2015 but his future has come under question under new manager Unai Emery.
According to Il Messaggero, the 22-year-old is attracting interest from Lazio but he won’t come on the cheap with the Gunners understood to demand between £20m to £22m for their club graduate.
Iwobi made a positive start to his Gunners career during the 2015/16 campaign and there were suggestions that the Nigerian could transform into a top-prospect for the club in the coming years.
However, he has since not made a huge impression in terms of the Premier League and he had to contend with more of a substitute role under the tutelage of former manager Arsene Wenger last term.
With the new season starting in less than three weeks, Emery has hinted that the club may pursue one ‘big signing’ before the transfer deadline and Iwobi could be among those offloaded to compensate for the probable arrival.
Nevertheless, the true nature of Iwobi’s situation may only be known following the pre-season tour of Singapore where the Nigerian is scheduled to feature against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal have placed a keen emphasis on improving on the defensive strength of the squad this summer and so far, they have recruited five signings with a budget of a little over £70m.
Bernd Leno has been bought to solve the key issue between the sticks while Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos should add more experience in the defence.
Other than that, Lucas Torreira’s arrival should improve on the club’s solidity in the centre of the park with Matteo Guendouzi being the only unknown in terms of quality. The former Lorient ace could be regarded as a future prospect.

Apart from Matic and Pogba, Mourinho has got stars like Carrick, Fellaini and Herrera in the central midfield as well. In your opinion, should Jose sign Sergej next summer?
