S.S. Lazio welcome the visitors AS Roma in the Italian Serie A – Round 26. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 2nd, at the Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
The hosting S.S. Lazio have significantly receded lately. They dropped out from the Europa League having lost to Sevilla and registering no goal there. In the Serie A, they have descended to the 8th line, and they are presently off the European spots (the team lag behind because of the goal difference though, which is 33 to 27, therefore, they still have chances). In the Cup, Lazio drawed against Milan at home, 0:0, so, they will hardly progress to the next stage. This, by all, means does not bring much motivation to the players. As for the coming derby with AS Roma, Simone Inzaghi’s men are not in the best form ahead of it. In 5 previous matches, they celebrated only 2 wins, yet against Empoli and Frosinone sitting rock-bottom, and suffered 3 losses, to the league leaders Napoli and Juventus, and to Genoa in the last round.

Unlike their hosts, the visitors are on the go. Roma confidently take the 5th place in the standings (6 points off the closest pursuers), having every chance to reach a Champions League berth (they are just 1 point behind the fourth-placed Milan). Therefore, the travelling side will be highly motivated. In the Champions League, Roma managed to win Porto at home, thus increasing their chances to progress to the next stage. In the national league, they are same fine, registering no loss in 8 rounds (the record reads 6 wins and 2 draws).
We may certainly expect a hard-fought and tight encounter, even though one side undergo a crisis and the other boast a good form. The Rome Derby descends on the Serie A – so, any developments are possible. Still, we favor the in-form Roma rather than the Lazio who lost their form. The visitors on the day will not concede at least.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win or Draw.
