All is set for a Rome derby with Lazio scheduled to host AS Roma in a Coppa Italia quarterfinal at the Olympic Stadium. The two have had mixed runs coming into this game. Hosts Lazio are coming from their third straight win after beating Udinese 2-1 away from home. This season, they’ve done well at home and will hope to carry the day here. They’ve lost once in 12 home matches ahead of this and have eight wins in 10 home games. In this shape, and having also gone unbeaten in the last three meetings with Roma, Lazio will be very confident. Save for their last two home matches, they’ve also been solid defensively at home. In the last 10 home matches, Lazio managed seven clean sheets. They’ve also kept clean sheets in five of their last six home matches in the Coppa Italia.

One of the glaring shortcomings for Roma has been their defence. The visitors head into this game with just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. They have two losses in the last five matches and failed to score in those defeats. Jose Mourinho’s side is coming from a 1-1 draw with Atalanta in the Serie A but their away form is a real concern. They’ve lost the last two away matches and have just two wins to show in their last 10. One win in the last five meetings with Lazio doesn’t inspire much confidence for Roma either. That 3-0 win in 2022 was also the last time they scored in this fixture. They’ve failed to score in the last three meetings. In the Coppa Italia, Roma have lost five of their last six away matches.
