Lazio vs Roma predictions for Friday night’s Serie A showdown at Stadio Olimpico. The weekend’s action in Italy gets underway with an absolute corker as Lazio and Roma lock horns in the Derby della Capitale. Read on for our free Serie A predictions and betting tips.
Both of last term’s Rome derbies finished all square at 1-1 but it’s Roma who are supported to come out on top in the first of this season’s big cross-city encounters at Stadio Olimpico.
Current circumstances mean that this will be a completely neutral clash despite Lazio technically being the home side – and that makes the game a slightly easier puzzle to solve without I Biancocelesti’s raucous partisan fans present to even things up.
While Lazio go into this contest on the back of consecutive league wins against Fiorentina (2-1) and Parma (0-2), Simone Inzaghi’s men have struggled for consistency overall this term and look unlikely to replicate last season’s decent fourth place finish.
I Biancocelesti have won just three of their eight starts at Stadio Olimpico thus far (D2, L3) and sit six points behind third-placed Roma who are still in the title hunt.
In contrast, Roma are unbeaten on the Stadio Olimpico turf this season (W6, D3) and they performed well to preserve that status last time out in a 2-2 thriller against Inter. Paulo Fonseca’s side have won five of their last seven Serie A games overall (D1, L1) and are attractively priced here at odds-against to confirm that they’re a superior outfit to their arch-enemies.
Lazio have netted in all of their home games this season so we can expect Inzaghi’s side to have a say, but we ultimately fancy I Giallorossi to overpower them this Friday and we’re predicting a 1-3 score-line.
