AS Roma vs Lazio prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2020-21

The Serie A features another exciting edition of the Derby della Capitale this weekend as Lazio lock horns with AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Both teams have had their problems this season and will want to win this game.

AS Roma are in seventh place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have lost out on European qualification this season. The Giallorossi suffered a 3-1 defeat against Inter Milan in their previous game and will need to be at their best this weekend.

Lazio, on the other hand, have been a resurgent force in recent weeks and have recovered from a poor start to their campaign. The Biancocelesti edged Parma to a narrow 1-0 victory earlier this week and will want a similar result from this match.

AS Roma vs Lazio Prediction

Lazio have found their feet in the Serie A in recent weeks and have five league victories on the trot. The Biancocelesti have excellent players in their ranks and have an outside chance of qualifying for the Champions League this year.

AS Roma have endured a miserable campaign and will have to bring their European experience to the fore this weekend. Lazio are the better team, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: AS Roma 1-2 Lazio
