Lazio vs Roma predictions To say there is no love lost between Lazio and Roma would be the same level of understatement as stating Italy’s capital has a decent food scene. The animosity between the two sets of supporters is known about right across the globe. The Derby della Capitale is essential viewing in Italy and beyond. There is no such thing as a non-competitive fixture between this pair, although not all derbies are created equal. In some meetings between the two clubs, there is only pride at stake. That is not the case this weekend. As well as attempting to get one over on their arch-rivals, Lazio and Roma will be looking to take a step closer to Champions League qualification. As things stand Spain is set to be awarded a fifth qualification spot for next season, although Italy remains in the mix. For now, though, only a top-four finish would guarantee a Serie A side a place at Europe’s top table in 2025/26. Inter and Napoli have virtually sewn up two of those berths. That leaves six teams fighting for the last two places. There is only a six-point gap between Atalanta in third and Fiorentina in eighth.

Back-to-back home draws with Udinese and Torino were frustrating, while Lazio were thumped 5-0 by Bologna last month. However, they have recently beaten both AC Milan and Atalanta away from home. Roma have been much more consistent. A seven-game winning streak was brought to an end last weekend, but a 1-1 draw with Juventus was an acceptable result. Still, Roma remain two points behind their adversaries heading into the derby. “I always look to the future,” said Claudio Ranieri, a son of Rome and a son of Roma who came out of retirement earlier this season to manage his boyhood club for one last time. “It will be a difficult match and for me it’s enough that the boys fight like crazy, then if we manage to win even with a stroke of luck I’ll be happy.” Lazio vs Roma betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.
