A key match in Serie A as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Roma in 5th position and Lazio placed 3rd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
The Derby della Capitale is, as the name suggests, the local football derby between the two biggest teams in the capital of Italy; Rome. 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.
The hosts Roma saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Coppa Italia. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Juventus.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Roma form and stats
5-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Roma so far this season. Roma are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Olimpico, having lost their two previous games here.
