Roma Preview – Can Roma consolidate top four spot?
A 3-1 win away from home at Genoa in last weekend’s Serie A action meant that Roma clung onto 4th place in the Italian top flight but the hosts will be very mindful of the threat of 5th placed Atalanta who are level on 38 points with them and are their closest rivals for the last Champions League spot.
Roma face a difficult local derby tussle though with their joint-tenants of the Stadio Olimpico, Lazio, on Sunday evening, and along with bragging rights at stake, a very important three points is on the line here, especially for the hosts.
A 7-point gap has developed between Roma and visitors, Lazio, ahead of this crucial clash and having recently suffered defeats to Torino and Juventus, both of which were at home, Roma will be wary of another slip-up here.
Roma’s home record stands at 5-2-3 19/15 and they’ve lost their last two on the trot at home while also failing to win the last two meetings against Lazio as well.
Lazio Preview – Can Lazio continue amazing winning streak?
3rd placed Lazio head into this local derby with a fair amount of momentum behind them as the ‘visitors’ have picked up 11 league wins on the trot which is an incredible and impressive sequence of results for Simone Inzaghi’s side.
Lazio therefore deservedly sit in one of the automatic qualifying spots for next season’s Champions League and they’ll be keen to assert their authority over their ground-share rivals, Roma, in this Roma derby on Sunday evening.
For all intents and purposes, this is also a home game for Lazio too and they’ve won won their last 6 matches on the trot at the Stadio Olimpico, scoring a total of 20 goals and conceding just 4 in reply as striker Immobile has been feasting on the goalscoring opportunities.
The Italian national striker has plundered a total of 23 goals to date this season and tops the leading goalscorers chart, some 7 goals ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
