Roma take on the visitors Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in the 7th tour of the Serie A TIM. The match will be played in the eponymous city Rome on Saturday, September 29th.
Roma have failed several times in the start of the new season. In their six matches of the 2018/2019 Serie A TIM season they were able to win only twice over Torino in the first tour and over Frosinone last tour. In the upcoming fixture against Lazio I Giallorossi will need to show an open and fully attacking playing style in order to win. It`s worth noting that there is a hole in the middle line of the team after Radja Nainggolan left them. Realistically it should be fixed with Steven Nzonzi who has been struggling lately though. La Lupa need to achieve the teamwork desperately. Also it is hard for the team to find a replacement for the goalie Alisson Becker who left for Liverpool. The newcomer to the team Robin Olsen should have helped with that problem but he has not been convincing recently. In their last match though the team of Eusebio Di Francesco had a chance to let off the steam and to beat Frosinone confidently. They did exactly that and got the victory with a 4-0 score. Now La Magica need to prove themselves in a fixture against Lazio. In their last three matches Roma beat Frosinone with a 4-0 score, lost to Bologna with a 0-2 score and to Real Madrid with a 0-3 score in their Champions League group stage fixture. I Giallorossi have also had a friendly fixture recently where they have lost to Benevento with a 1-2 score.

Lazio have been looking pretty good in the start of the new season compared to Roma. I Biancocelesti lost only two out of their six played fixtures in the 2018/2019 Serie A TIM season to Juventus and Napoli. After those defeats the team of Simone Inzaghi has been winning all of their fixtures both in their local league and in the UEFA Europa League. Now they are on the fourth place in the table. The handicap from the first place is six points for them. If Le Aquile try hard they will overtake Juventus one day. However, if they fail in their upcoming fixture against Roma that will be a bad sign. It will mean that they are able to beat only middle and outsider teams. It`s worth noting that the offensive line of I Biancocelesti has a big potential and consists of such high class players as Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Marco Parolo and Luis Alberto. In their last three matches Lazio beat Udinese with a 2-1 score, Genoa with a 4-1 score and Apollon with a 2-1 score in their Europa League group stage fixture.
Both teams have problems with their respective defensive lines but also both of them often score a lot. Their last fixture between them ended with a 0-0 score but that happened in the end of the last season when the players were tired. Now they put all of their energy into scoring goals. It is likely that both teams will score in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
