Prediction: 2-2
Lazio
There will be fireworks when Roma and Lazio face each in the Derby della Capitale on Saturday evening. The Romans aim to retain their spot in top seven, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Former Manchester United ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who found the net in the 3-1 loss to Inter, will be the man to watch in the home team. All Calafiori, Diawara, Lopez, Smalling, Spinazzola, Veretout, and Zaniolo are likely to miss the game through injuries.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, defeated Parma in midweek thanks to Ciro Immobile’s stoppage-time goal. The capital club have slim chances of booking their place in the Champions League, but given their attacking potential, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. Both Andreas Pereira and Lucas Leiva are out of contention through suspension, while key midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic remains on the sidelines through injury.
Highlighted Player (Nikola Kalinic):
Nikola Kalinic is a product of Hajduk Split’s youth school. The 187-cm-tall striker scored 32 goals in 59 appearances for Hajduk at senior level and he played for the likes of Pula and Sibenik in Croatia as well. In 2009 he moved to Blackburn Rovers for fee of £6 million.
Nikola Kalinic made his Blackburn Rovers debut against Sunderland on 22 August, 2009 and he scored his first goal for the Riversiders against Peterborough United in the League Cup. After making 44 league appearances for Blackburn Rovers, the Croatian attacker joined Dnipro in 2011 and he played for the Ukrainian outfit until 2015.
Kalinic signed a four-year deal with Fiorentina on 15 August, 2015 and he impressed in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring 12 goals in 36 games. The Fiorentina striker made two appearances for Croatia at the 2016 European Championship in France and it has to be noted that he found the net in a 2-1 win over Spain in the group stages of the competition.
Highlighted Team (Lazio):
Lazio Roma are an Italian football club based in Rome. Lazio were founded in 1900 and they compete in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti (The White and Sky Blues) have won two Serie A trophies (1973/1974, 1999/2000), while lifting six Coppa Italia titles.
The capital club play their home games at Stadio Olimpico and Roma are regarded as Lazio’s main rivals.
The two teams face each other in the Derby della Capitale and it is considered the fiercest inter-city derby in Italy. Lazio won UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999, with the team beating Mallorca in the title game. The same year they managed to clinch the UEFA Super Cup trophy as they outplayed English giants Manchester United at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
The likes of Pavel Nedved, Giuseppe Favalli, Juan Sebastian Veron, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Roberto Mancini, Giuseppe Signori, Miroslav Klose and Simone Inzaghi are notable footballers who played for Lazio in the past.
