The two teams share their stadium Stadio Olimpico, which has seen some riots when these teams meet. Local fans view this match as a battle to represent the city of Rome in the rest of Italy.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Roma and Lazio.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Lazio are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
