Prediction: 1-1
AS Roma
There will be fireworks when Lazio and Roma square off against each other in the Rome derby on Matchday 6. The Biancocelesti aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s showdown. Ciro Immobile, who scored a late equalizer from the penalty spot in the midweek draw with Torino, is likely to lead the line for the hosts.
The Romans, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Udinese on Thursday evening, with the team retaining their spot in top four. The Giallorossi are likely to go for a win in the local derby as well, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Pellegrini is banned for the visitors, while Spinazzola remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
