Two sides who will be looking to pick up local bragging rights on Friday night, Lazio and bitter rivals Roma will face off at their shared ground this weekend.

Starting with the temporary hosts, appearing to be enjoying a recent bounce, it is no secret that Lazio have another European finish at the top of their agenda. In their 17 Serie A contests so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, four draws and five defeats, scoring 27 and conceding 25 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 28, the Eagles open this weekend’s fixtures sat eighth in the table and three points adrift of finding a route back into the European positions. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a deserved 2-0 victory away at Parma, Lazio have lost just one of their last six Serie A matchups, a run that has seen them claim back-to-back wins. It is also worth highlighting, Friday’s temporary hosts have seen five of their last six home fixtures across all formats finish with over 2.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the Oranges, continuing on what has been quite the free-scoring run, Roma really hold a reputation for their high-scoring performances. In their 17 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, four draws and three defeats, scoring 37 and conceding 26 in return. Along with opening this weekend’s fixtures sat as high as third in the table with a points tally of 34, it should also be noted that Roma hold the second-best attacking record in Italy’s top-tier. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a dramatic 2-2 draw against title-chasers Inter Milan on home soil, the Orangers have collected 10 points from their last four Serie A matchups. It is also worth highlighting, with each of their last five away fixtures on paper have also seeing over 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome on Friday night.
