Lazio – Roma

The Italian capital of Rome will be at the daggers drawn on Sunday as two of its biggest sides Lazio and Roma clash at the Stadio Olimpico in an enticing Serie A derby. Without a doubt, I Giallorossi are the form side, having made a flying start under Jose Mourinho with four wins from five league games. After a long time, they’ve looked like a side worthy of contending in the Champions League, which is their minimal objective under the Portuguese manager this season.Meanwhile, the Eagles have stuttered since their resounding 6-1 drubbing of Spezia, going the next four games without a win.

There have been 50 clashes between the Rome outfits before, with AS Roma winning almost half of their encounters (24) with Lazio, who’ve beaten them only 13 times. Lazio haven’t lost at home to Roma in their last five games, but I Giallorossi have become the real deal under Mourinho’s tutelage again. With seven wins and just a single defeat from eight games in all competitions so far, they’ve been on a tear and might just be too hot for Lazio to handle.
