Lazio take on Roma at Stadio Olimpico in the Rome derby.
Stefano Pioli’s side are currently 8th in the table with 42 points earned. They are quite far behind eurocups zone (13 points). So we can say the Eaglets may have the chance to play in the eurocups next season only theoretically. Lazio have won only one of their last 5 matches. They tied three and lost another one. Last matchday Lazio took on Milan at San Siro. The visitors netted an early goal, but Milan managed to equalize.

On top of that Lazio had 4:4 goal difference in those matches. They failed to score a single goal in two of them. As to their last 5 home games, Lazio recorded 3 wins and 2 losses. Their last home match was against Sparta in the Europa League and Lazio suffered a bitter 0:3 defeat.
As to the visitors their campaign has been way more successful this season. They are now 3rd with 60 points earned. They are 7 points behind 2nd place and 5 points ahead of the 4th Fiorentina. Still there will be enough matches so that Roma could battle for the silver medals and 2nd spot that allows to qualify to the Champions League automatically. Spalletti’s side have remained undefeated in their last 5 matches (4 victories, 1 tie). Moreover they are currently on 9-game undefeated streak in the Serie A.
The Wolves have scored 15 goals and conceded 4 ones in those games. But they managed to record only one clean-sheet. The Wolves have been successful on the road too. After loss at Juventus Roma managed to win 4 away games in a row. And again only one clean-sheet.
Lazio failed to win any of their last five head-to-heads against Roma. The latter won 3 games and tied two ones. Lazio failed to score a goal in three of them.
Roma are quite obvious favorite of the clash. However, despite the positions of both sides it’s a derby. Both teams have been eliminated from the eurocups so they can focus on national league now. Lazio keep disappointing this season, while Roma are gaining form. Both teams will be highly motivated, still Roma are more skillful and they are in need of this victory.
Prediction: Roma to win.
