183rd Derby della Capitale set to take place this weekend

Roma and Lazio will lock-horns for a clash in the Derby della Capitale at Stadio Olimpico for the Serie A match week 31.

In their recent match, Roma struggled in a scoreless draw against Lecce, facing criticism over a potential penalty denial. Missing key players like Dybala and Pellegrini, their attack lacked cohesion. As a result they had to heavily rely on Lukaku. Much to the Belgian’s dismay, he was below par throughout.

On the other hand, Lazio, under Tudor, displayed promising signs despite a recent loss to Juventus in the Coppa Italia, indicating potential for salvaging their season. Now, sitting six points behind Roma, the upcoming derby serves as a pivotal moment for Lazio’s Champions League aspirations.
