Lazio

DDLDWL

Lazio won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Europa League defeat in their last game at the hands of Bodo Glimt.

In that match, Lazio managed 42% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Bodo Glimt had 18 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Ulrik Saltnes (47', 69') was the scorer for Bodo Glimt.

It has not been often in recent times where Lazio have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Lazio have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals on the way.

Their past results show that Lazio:

• haven't won against Roma in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their last 4 league matches at home.
• have not won at home in their last 3 league matches.

Roma

In their last game, Roma drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Juventus.

In that game, Roma managed 41% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Roma was Eldor Shomurodov (49'). On the other side, Juventus had 10 shots on goal with 6 on target. Manuel Locatelli (40') scored for Juventus.

Over the course of their previous half-dozen clashes, Roma have helped themselves to a total of 7 goals. Roma have also managed to score in every single one of those games. In that time, they have had 5 goals go into their own net. Such a trend won’t necessarily be continued into this match, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Roma:

• are winless against Lazio in games played away from home for the previous 7 matches in the league. Not good.
• are undefeated in their previous 7 league matches away from home.

ℹ️ Team News: Lazio

Nuno Tavares (Adductor injury) and Patric (Ankle surgery) won’t be available for Lazio gaffer Marco Baroni.

It’s our opinion that i Biancocelesti look set to use the 4-2-3-1 system this time, handing starts to Ivan Provedel, Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Oliver Provstgaard, Luca Pellegrini, Matteo Guendouzi, Nicolo Rovella, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Loum Tchaouna, Mattia Zaccagni and Boulaye Dia.

📋 Team News: Roma

Roma manager Claudio Ranieri has to choose a team with limited availability. Saud Abdulhamid (Hamstring injury) and Paulo Dybala (Tendon rupture) can’t be considered.

We reckon that i Giallorossi seem most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 system, choosing Mile Svilar, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Alexis Saelemaekers, Kouadio Kone, Leandro Paredes, Angelino, Matias Soule, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Artem Dovbyk.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Roma and Lazio should play out a closely-fought contest here.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. That’s why we have predicted a tight encounter with a score draw at the end of the match.
