Our prediction for this Serie A match:
There will be fireworks when Lazio and Roma face each other at Stadio Olimpico in the Rome derby. The Biancocelesti failed to impress in a goalless draw with Bologna, but, one thing is for sure, they will leave their hearts on the field in the local derby. Montenegro international Adam Marusic is back from suspension, while Matias Vecino is banned for the match. In Ciro Immobile’s absence, Felipe Anderson will lead the line for the nominal hosts.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 4-3 loss to Sassuolo. Since both teams will go for a victory in the Derby della Capitale, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. As for Jose Mourinho’s team, Kumbulla is banned for the match, while both Belotti and Pellegrini are sidelined with injuries. Ebrima Darboe returned to training at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Elseid Hysaj):

Born on 2nd February 1994, Elseid Hysaj is an Albanian defender who has spent his entire professional career in Italian Serie A and he is predicted a bright future in the game. Empoli scouts spotted his talent while he was playing for Shodra youth sides, and after three years in the youth team, the full-back was promoted to the first team set up.
Hysaj performed really well in his first three years as a first team regular, helping the Azzurri gain promotion to the top fight in the process. One season in Serie A proved enough for the right-sided defender to secure a big club move as he joined Napoli in the summer of 2015 and immediately nailed down a regular starting berth.
Capable of doing dirty defensive work as well as making forward runs, Hysaj is a modern full-back, who is destined for big things. The talented footballer is already a key member of the Albania national team and he will represent the country at the Euro 2016 finals.
