Lazio vs Roma Prediction

A real buzz is expected in and around Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening as Lazio and Roma are set to lock horns in the first Derby della Capitale of the season in the 12th round of the Serie A.

Both city rivals got off to an underwhelming start to the 2023/24 campaign. They are currently separated by just one point but both teams sit outside of the top six in the league table.

Lazio ended their three-win run with a disappointing performance in a 0-1 loss to Bologna last Friday at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

I Biancocelesti failed to register more than one shot on goal in the 90 minutes of action in Bologna.

They did not shine offensively on Tuesday either, but Ciro Immobile’s strike at the death of the first half was enough to grant them a massive three-pointer in the UEFA Champions League Matchday No 4 tie against Feyenoord.

Each of the last three games Lazio played thus ended in a same 1-0 scoreline. We could be in for another low-scoring scenario when they meet Roma who have also done pretty well defensively of late under Jose Mourinho.

La Lupa completed a stoppage-time comeback to dispatch Lecce last Sunday in the capital, courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku winning goal deep into added time.

Three of the last four games they played in all competitions also ended with fewer than three goals. We are not confident about a goal fest on Sunday in Rome.

Latest Meetings

Last season’s H2H encounters between the fierce Roman rivals also point towards a low-scoring scenario on Sunday as both ended in Lazio’s narrow 1-0 wins.

Both teams scored just once in the previous six editions of the Derby della Capitale.

Lazio have three wins in the last four encounters with Roma.

The Verdict

The Under 2.5 goals FT pick has to be the standout betting option here at the 1.60 odds based on both teams’ form as well as the last season’s head to head meetings.

The braver punters can even shoot for the correct score pick and chase the 1-1 draw at the attractive 6.00 odds since we don’t think there is really much to separate the two teams at the moment.
