Lazio vs Roma: Preview

As one of the most fiercely-fought encounters in all of Serie A, The Rome Derby traditionally hosts intense displays of love and loathing from fans on both sides of the capital divide. Therefore, the long-awaited return of supporters for the grand occasion will be warmly welcomed on Sunday, after the sterile closed-doors derbies during the past year.

There will be battles going on in every part of the field and also in the technical area as Jose Mourinho takes on his fellow ex-Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri. Lazio have not been up to the mark in the recent weeks and therefore are winless in their last three games with loss against AC Milan before draws against Cagliari and Torino in the last game.

Sarri’s men were saved by tailsman Ciro Immobile’s penalty in the injury time against Torino to salvage a point for his side. While Roma are flying high under new manager Jose Mourinho and have made a really strong start to their new league campaign. Mourinho suffered his first league defeat against Hellas Verona last weekend, but were immediately back to winning ways in midweek against Udinese.

Tammy Abraham scored the only goal of the game in the 36th minute giving his side all three points on the night. Irrespective of the forms both teams bring into all decisive Rome Derby both teams will want to win and make sure they have the bragging rights over their city rivals.

Lazio vs Roma: Prediction

Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini will miss the first Rome Derby of the season after being sent off in their last game against Udinese. Separated by four points in the standings ahead of Sunday’s clash, the gap is set to grow further in Roma’s favour, as they can capitalise on a transitional period for Lazio under very different management.
The Giallorossi’s goal threat is diminished a little by their captain’s absence, but their three-man line behind the striker possesses more than enough guile and prowess to seal all three points in the season’s first Derby. Hence we predict a win for Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
