Roma vs Lazio Predictions
- Both teams have scored in eight of the last 10 games to feature Roma.
- Meanwhile, Lazio have seen both teams hit the net in three of their last four games in Rome.
- Only three Serie A teams have bettered Lazio’s tally of 24 league goals this term.
- Roma have created 23.9 expected goals (xG) in Serie A this season – a tally only bettered by leaders Napoli (24.5).
Derby della Capitale promises much
Meetings between Italy’s two capital clubs Roma and Lazio rarely disappoint – five of the last eight have contained over 2.5 goals, and seven of the last 12 have featured goals at both ends. With the two teams sitting fourth and fifth in Serie A, respectively, Sunday’s contest promises more of the same, with two genuine top-four contenders sure to serve up an entertaining contest.
Roma have bounced back from last month’s 1-0 loss to Napoli by winning three consecutive games, and sealed a spot in the Europa League’s last 32 with Thursday’s 3-1 win over Ludogorets. The Giallorossi have now won six of their last 10 games, eight of which have seen both teams find the net. Indeed, only Napoli and Atalanta – Serie A’s top two – have shut Roma out since early September, and only the Partenopei have created more expected goals (xG) in Serie A this season.
Lazio were not as fortunate in Europe this week, as their 1-0 loss to Feyenoord saw them come third in a remarkably close Group F in the Europa League – where all four sides finished with eight points. On the domestic front, Lazio have won five of their last seven Serie A games, and only Napoli, Milan and Inter have bettered their tally of 24 goals in 12 Serie A matches this season.
Goals at both ends likely
Given both teams’ decent runs of form and strong attacking records, avoiding the result markets to back both teams to net appears a prudent approach for Sunday – Lazio have seen goals at both ends in three of their last four outings at the Stadio Olimpico.
Meanwhile, with the sides appearing relatively evenly matched, correct score punters may find value by backing an entertaining 2-2 draw.
