Lazio and Roma had contrasting returns in Europe in the week, with Roma pulling one of the greatest comebacks, and against all odds, to eliminate Barcelona from the Champions League while Lazio let go of a 4 – 2 lead from the first leg against Salzburg to exit the Europa League. The attention will now be on the domestic front with the sides seeking to stay in the Champions League slots, both having so far managed 60 points. Lazio have won only one of their last 10 derbies against Roma, losing five of the last six and getting to this game from the disappointing result in Europe will not be the best preparation for the designated hosts. Lazio have a loss, three wins and a draw in their last five. At home they have two wins, two draws and a loss in the last five at home, scoring 13 and conceding eight. Roma head to the derby on two wins, a draw and two losses. They have two losses, a draw and two wins away from home, scoring nine goals and conceding nine. They have five wins in their last 10 matches and four clean sheets in the process. Away from home Roma have kept three clean sheets in the last 10. They are unbeaten in seven league matches away from home and their familiarity with the match venue even though playing as the designated away team will be a big boost. Roma have lost just once in 22 Serie A away matches and in the last eight Rome derbies, they have beaten Lazio six times. Head to head the teams have met 53 times and Lazio have won 16 while Roma 22.
