Odds: 11/8 @ 888sport

In a real derby showdown on Saturday night, Lazio and Roma will face off from behind closed doors this weekend in what could be a lively encounter at their shared home.

Starting with Saturday’s temporary hosts, slumping back to losing ways last time out, Roma have continued to show a host of issues over the past month. In their 36 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded 17 wins, seven draws and 12 defeats, scoring 64 and conceding 56 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 58, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the table and with it already confirmed that they can not break into the top-six. As for their recent run of results, last seen in midweek getting hit with a 3-1 defeat away at Inter Milan, Roma have managed to win just a pair of their last nine matchups across all formats. More alarming for Saturday’s hosts, it should also be noted that they have managed to win just one of their previous six Serie A contests.

As for Lazio, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last time out, The Eagles have largely impressed during the back end of the campaign. In their 35 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded 21 wins, four draws and 10 defeats, scoring 61 and conceding 51 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 67, they find themselves sat sixth in the table and with it already confirmed that they will be in the Europea League next season. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win against Parma, Lazio have managed to collect nine points from their last four Serie A contests. It should also be noted, along with winning eight of their last 10 matchups across all formats, they also landed a 3-0 win when the two sides faced off back in January.
