Serie ARomaLazio

Roma welcomes Lazio in the 30th round of Serie A. The current form of the symbolic host is probably the best since the beginning of the season, which gives fans hope for a good result in Sunday's derby. Roma have not lost in eight consecutive games against the Scudetto, thanks to which they climbed to seventh place in the standings. Lazio is fifth with only one point ahead of their city rival, which makes the rivalry between the two teams even more tied this weekend.

Lazio's season is developing very interestingly. Unlike Roma, the Roman Eagles started more unconvincingly, but improved their form over the course of the season. The biggest contrast is seen in the team's visits. Lazio are currently on a four-match unbeaten visit, winning three of them and ending in a draw with Udinese alone. Exactly the same number of victories were achieved in the first 11 visits of the team in Serie A.

Although in theory there was no guest on Sunday, the attitude in the derby was always different. An interesting fact is that in the last nine matches between Roma and Lazio, the victory has never been for the symbolic guest. The stakes are very high, as two other teams are also involved in the battle for fifth and sixth place. It is debatable whether Atalanta and Fiorentina have a heavier program in the remaining rounds, so any wrong move could be fatal.

Jose Mourinho had his criticism from Roma supporters, but he can't deny that he built a team. With each passing week, the Roman Wolves look more cohesive, which is reflected in the key moments of the matches. On several occasions, Roma have already scored a winning or decisive goal at the very end of the match, as happened against Vitesse during the week in the Europa League. At this point, it seems to me that the Wolves are better prepared to leave with three points and will lie to their opponent. Unlike Roma, Lazio cracked under pressure several times during the season and that is why they lost a lot of points against the top teams in the Scudetto.
