Players to Watch:

Artem Dovbyk (AS Roma)

Artem Dovbyk is Roma’s top scorer this season with five goals. The Ukrainian has been a menace upfront and has shown great promise in his first spell in Italy. He has made 11 shots on target in the process and played around 237 passes which shows his presence in the game.

Now it remains to be seen if he can match his stats from his last year’s performance for Girona where he scored 24 goals in 36 appearances.

Match Prediction

Marco Baroni’s Lazio look to be in a dominant position in the Serie A right now and are the clear favourites. However, AS Roma’s history clearly shows that the game won’t go down easy. Claudio Ranieri is an experienced coach and he will surely use his tactical permutation and combination to silence their derby rivals.

Prediction: AS Roma 1- 3 Lazio
