Roma under the leadership of De Rossi has noticeably improved its results, the team climbed to 5th place in Serie A, and also made it to the 1/4 finals of the UEFA Europa League. But so far from serious opponents the Romans had only Inter and Fiorentina, and in these two games Roma could not win, although demonstrated a good level of play, scoring 2 goals each.
Lazio could not get past Bayern in the UEFA Champions League, and there is almost no chance of reaching the Italian Cup final. So the Romans can only get into the European Cup through Serie A, and in the standings Lazio is only in 7th place, 4 points behind the European Cup zone.
The current Rome derby promises to be interesting and entertaining, as both teams need 3 points, a draw here will suit only Atalanta, which goes next door in the standings with these teams. The price of a mistake in this match is extremely high, but still the teams will be forced to play more aggressively, so expect to see goals from both sides.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.9
