Lazio is currently in third place on the table and has four points over 10th Roma, which again had more success in their last season’s duels, because the hosts celebrated with 2-1, and they played as guests with 0-0.

Roma

However, they are now well aware of the fact that they will have to make further efforts to overcome their city's rivals, who are expecting this Saturday match after a series of five consecutive victories. On the other hand, Roma has this season achieved only two victories, even in the first round of the Serie A, when they played 1-0 in Torino and three days ago when they celebrated on their field with 4-0 over Frosinone.

Otherwise, coach Francesco has rested on several standard players in that match, and he also changed the tactical setting, since before that they had a series of two defeats and two draws in the championship, while they at the start of the Champions League lost with 3-0 over current European champion, Real Madrid. However, we now against Lazio expect the strongest forces on the field, including the returnees Florenzi and Dzeko, while the only questionable for this match is striker Perotti.

Probable lineups AS Roma: Olsen – Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov – De Rossi, Nzonzi – Under, Pastore, El Shaarawy – Dzeko

Lazio

Unlike their city rivals, which are this season having problems to find the right form, Lazio’s players were defeated only in the first two rounds of Serie A, at home from Napoli and as guests by Juventus, while they made even four wins after that in Europa League, when they celebrated with 2-1 on their field over Apollon from Cyprus. Otherwise, they have during that period had the toughest job in Serie A, when they played against Udinese but they have luckily mastered them with 2-1.

In fact, coach Inzaghi has rested a lot more players in that match than his colleague from Roma, Spaletti, but they have despite all that come to full three points, so they are now awaiting this match in a great mood and in a third position on the table. Of course, we expect that Lazio will on Saturday night at Olimpico perform with strongest forces, while they cannot only count on the injured defenders Radu and Lukaku.

Probable lineups Lazio Rome: Strakosha – Wallace, Acerbi, Caceres – Marusic, Parolo, Leiva, Lulic – Milinkovic-Savic, Luis Alberto – Immobile

Verdict:

Even though Lazio is welcoming this city derby after a series of five wins, we have decided to give a slight advantage to Roma, because in the case of a new defeat they would be seriously lagging behind the lead trio.
