The Serie A features another exciting edition of the Derby della Capitale this weekend as Lazio lock horns with AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Both teams have had their problems this season and will want to win this game.
AS Roma are in seventh place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have lost out on European qualification this season. The Giallorossi suffered a 3-1 defeat against Inter Milan in their previous game and will need to be at their best this weekend.
Lazio, on the other hand, have been a resurgent force in recent weeks and have recovered from a poor start to their campaign. The Biancocelesti edged Parma to a narrow 1-0 victory earlier this week and will want a similar result from this match.
AS Roma vs Lazio Head-to-Head
AS Roma have historically been the dominant force in the Derby della Capitale and have won 16 games out of a total of 35 matches played between the two teams. Lazio have managed 11 victories against AS Roma and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in January earlier this year and ended in a 3-0 victory for Lazio. Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto ran riot on the day and will want to replicate their heroics this weekend.
