Lazio
The ground at Stadio Olimpico will shake when AS Roma and Lazio lock horns in the Derby della Capitale on Saturday afternoon. The Romans dropped two points in a goalless draw with Lecce, but they are still in the race for a spot in the Champions League. The good news for the nominal hosts is that midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini is back from suspension, while fit-again attacker Paulo Dybala should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, did well to beat Frosinone and Juventus in the previous two league matches. Lazio and Roma seem to be evenly matched ahead of the Rome derby and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. As for Maurizio Sarri’s team, defender Luca Pellegrini returns from suspension, while both Ivan Provedel and Nicolo Rovella are out of contention with injuries. As always, experienced striker Ciro Immobile will lead the line for the nominal visitors.
