But they are still in the race for a spot in the Champions League. The good news for the nominal hosts is that midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini is back from suspension. While fit-again attacker Paulo Dybala should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, did well to beat Frosinone and Juventus in the previous two league matches. Lazio and Roma seem to be evenly matched ahead of the Rome derby and. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. As for Maurizio Sarri’s team, defender Luca Pellegrini returns from suspension. While both Ivan Provedel and Nicolo Rovella are out of contention with injuries. As always, experienced striker Ciro Immobile will lead the line for the nominal visitors.

Roma vs Lazio Prediction
We’ve witnessed several cagey affairs without too many happenings on the pitch in recent Derby della Capitale editions. None of the previous four Roman derbies provided even two or more goals.
The teams’ latest performances point towards a similar outcome this time around. We saw only two goals in total in Roma’s last three outings in all competitions. Lazio completely shut down Juventus on Igor Tudor’s managerial debut. Their back line looked as solid as ever on the occasion. The Under 2.5 goals bet is our primary option at the 1.70 odds.
It is very interesting to see Roma as 2.10 favourites for the win despite the fact they’ve failed to score in four straight clashes against Lazio. La Lupa did not shine in recent games, especially in the previous round’s goalless stalemate at Lecce. Lazio enter this encouraged by a 1-0 win over Juventus last weekend. The value is with Lazio to avoid a defeat at the 1.70 odds.
