Lazio vs AS Roma Prediction and Betting Tips | 12th November 2023
The Serie A features another edition of the Derby della Capitale this weekend as Jose Mourinho's AS Roma lock horns with arch-rivals Lazio in a crucial encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
Lazio vs AS Roma Preview
Lazio are currently in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side edged Feyenoord to an important 1-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League this week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
AS Roma, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Giallorossi slumped to a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Slavia Praha in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Lazio vs AS Roma Prediction
AS Roma have made progress under Jose Mourinho but have remained an inconsistent outfit in the Serie A. The likes of Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark this weekend.
Lazio can pack a punch on their day but have been a shadow of their former selves this season. AS Roma are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
