Lazio will on Sunday host city rivals Roma in round 12 of the Italian Serie A. The two teams are separated by only one point in the standings with Roma sitting seventh and Lazio 10th. Lazio have won the last two Derby della Capitale and have done so without conceding. They will hope to come out on top again with this latest fixture much more than just bragging rights. A win for Maurizio Sarri’s men could see them leapfrog their eternal rivals and move them into the European places. Lazio arrive for this match after a 1-0 success over Feyenoord in the Champions League. The win kept them firmly on course to make it to the knockout rounds of the competition. Le Aquile have stuttered in recent outings but at home have been a bit more consistent. Lazio haven’t lost at the Stadio Olimpico in six matches and have won their last four fixtures there.

Roma are coming off a disappointing defeat in the Europa League in midweek. Suffering their second loss in three outings, Jose Mourinho’s men were defeated 2-0 away to Slavia Prague. The loss ended their 100% record in the competition. They however remain on course to qualify for the knockout rounds. I Giallorossi will seek to bounce back immediately. Playing against their city rivals is the perfect motivation. Roma bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Inter by defeating Lecce 2-1 last time out in the league. A second successive victory could see them end the weekend in fifth place in the league standings.
