Lazio form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Lazio's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadio Olimpico.

Lazio manager M. Sarri and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Torino (placed 9th) in the Serie A. Goalkeeper Pepe Reina got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.33 out of ten. Reina stopped the opponent with four saves.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cagliari that ended 2-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lazio have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lazio, as the Europa League home game vs Lokomotiv Moskva is only four days away.

Early season league goal statistics from Lazio's 2 home games: 8 goals, 3 conceded.

Roma form and stats

Roma are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Impressive finishing from Tammy Abraham secured the home win 1-0 against Udinese in their previous game. Defender Gianluca Mancini was the best team player with a rating of 7.85. Mancini won 4 of 8 duels.

Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Hellas Verona's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Roma playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Roma wins, zero draws and two defeats.

It's early days yet, but Roma has scored 6 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Lazio victories, three draws and four Roma wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
