Lazio come into this clash after three straight wins, which gives them a big advantage

Although Roma have shown some eye-catching football this season, they have not been consistent, which has resulted in them finishing Serie A in mediocrity. Injuries have spoiled their party at times, but their defence has been their biggest problem. They are currently 8th in the Serie A and four points away from a Champions League spot.

At the moment, Roma and Lazio are both in a similar position, and consistency has hurt them the most. However, they have shown some good form recently with three wins in a row. Cup knockouts are always tense games, but when they are against city rivals, they are always a big spectacle to watch.

Kick-Off:

Wednesday, 10th January 2023 at (10:30 PM IST)

Location: Stadio Olimpico, Roma

Form:

Lazio (in all competitions): L-L-W-W-W

Player to Watch

Romelu Lukaku (Roma)

Roma’s eye-catching football has been brought to life by Romelu Lukaku’s eight goals from 16 appearances. He has been a beast in front of goal and his partnership with Dybala has been crucial to their success.

Mattia Zaccagni (Lazio)

Mattia Zaccagni has been Laizo’s best player in this testing season. Things haven’t gone as planned for Lazio but Zaccagni has always brought the best to the table. He has been an electric force on the left wing and will be hoping to put up another strong performance.
