WWDLWD

Roma head into this game following a 0-0 Serie A tied result vs Lecce.

In that match, Roma managed 60% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Lecce got 27 shots on goal with 6 of them on target.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that not much more can be done by the Roma backline. Roma have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their past 6 games standing at 4. That kind of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Roma:

• have not emerged victorious against Lazio in their last 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at their most recent head to head meetings going back to 26/09/2021 tells us that Roma have won 1 of them and Lazio 4, with the number of draws standing at 1.

A total of 11 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 5 for i Giallorossi and 6 netted by i Biancocelesti. That is an average goals per game value of 1.83.

ℹ️ Team News: Roma

Rasmus Kristensen (muscular problems) and Sardar Azmoun (Knee injury) are unavailable for Roma manager Daniele De Rossi. Evan Ndicka cannot play in this game through suspension.

In our view, i Giallorossi could use the 4-3-3 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Mile Svilar, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, Diego Llorente, Leonardo Spinazzola, Bryan Cristante, Leandro Paredes, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku and Stephan El Shaarawy.

🗞️ Team News: Lazio

Lazio manager Igor Tudor has a number of players out of action. Manuel Lazzari (Calf injury), Ivan Provedel (Ankle injury) and Mattia Zaccagni (Ankle injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that i Biancocelesti appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 formation, settling for Christos Mandas, Nicolo Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Mario Gila, Adam Marusic, Felipe Anderson, Matteo Guendouzi, Matias Vecino, Gustav Isaksen, Daichi Kamada and Ciro Immobile.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Lazio will need to apply a lot of pressure to find the net against this Roma team who we think will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re going for a good battle with a 1-0 win for Roma at the end of the 90 minutes.

Should be a close one.
