Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for AS Roma vs Lazio
This will be one of the hottest and most exciting Rome derbies in recent years. Firstly, because with nine rounds for the season to end both teams’ main objective is to finish in a European spot. Secondly, Lazio won the first match and it would be a disaster for Roma if they lose again!
In the last round, Roma drew with Udinese and lost their fifth position to Lazio. Certainly, the goals are not coming easily for Mourinho’s team as they scored once in each of their last three Serie A fixtures. As a result, the Giallorossi must be more active in the offensive third, especially on the counter-attacks that Mourinho loves to adopt.
Maurizio Sarri on the other hand has slowly climbed the standings and will fight to cling on to the fifth position that qualifies for the Europa League. Offensively, Lazio are the second-best team after Inter but it was their defense that needed to be adjusted earlier in the season.
However, Sarri seems to have worked that out as the Biancoceleste had six clean sheets in their last eight Serie A fixtures. In addition, Lazio’s attack were on target three times in each of the seven of their last 12 games and that is a remarkable record.
AS Roma vs Lazio Prediction
Mourinho and Sarri are known for their tactical supremacy and definitely they will prepare their teams in the best possible way. Nevertheless, the tension and pressure surrounding this match will leave all tactics aside and the one with the cooler head will emerge victoriously.
To summarize, we predict a Roma win since they seem to have a higher incentive to win. But to be on the safe side we will combine it with a draw and over 1.5 total goals.
Safe Bet
The bookies are favoring that both Roma and Lazio will score in this game and Vbet is offering odds of 1.67. Despite the fact that the stats show only a 50% probability for BTTS to happen, we predict to see goals at both ends given the prolific scorers present on both teams.
Quick Rich
For some bookmakers, this match will end in a draw and they are backing it with a 40% possibility. Surely a draw is not off the table with both teams having a very similar form and records. Thus, with an odds of 3.45, we will take this bet as a chance for a quick profit.
AS Roma vs Lazio First Goalscorer
Two of the best strikers in Ciro Immobile and Tammy Abraham will battle it out to open the scoring on Sunday. Notably, none of them were scored in their first match back in September. At Vbet they are offering odds of 1.51 for Immobile or Abraham to be the first goalscorer and we will back it.
