Roma come into this derby with the stronger recent results, having won four of their last five league matches and kept three clean sheets in that run. Lazio’s form is more mixed, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five league games, and they have just conceded three at home to Inter. With Roma also winning the most recent head-to-head meeting 1-0 away and 2-0 at home earlier in the run, the data points towards a controlled home performance.
Roma’s recent scoring numbers suggest they can create enough to edge clear if they start well, while Lazio’s latest results show they have been less reliable at both ends. The absence of Alessio Romagnoli through suspension is a notable defensive issue for Lazio, and Roma’s attacking options look better placed to take advantage. A derby can be tight, but the form and head-to-head pattern both lean towards Roma keeping things compact and finding the key moments.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Roma
Roma arrive in strong league form, with five matches producing four wins and one draw. They have scored 13 goals across those games and conceded only three, which is a solid return for a side heading into a derby at the Stadio Olimpico.
The recent sequence includes a 4-0 home win over Fiorentina, a 3-2 away win at Parma and a 2-0 away win at Bologna. That run suggests Roma have been effective both at home and on the road, and they have also kept clean sheets against Fiorentina, Bologna and Pisa.

Lazio
Lazio’s recent league form is less consistent, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five. They have scored eight goals in that spell but have also conceded eight, which points to a side that has been more open than Roma.
Their best result in the run was the 2-0 away win at Napoli, but that has been balanced by a 3-3 draw with Udinese and a 0-3 home defeat to Inter. The away loss at Fiorentina and the home draw with Udinese show they have not always been able to control games defensively.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Roma (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Mile Svilar (Goalkeeper), Evan Ndicka (Defender), Gianluca Mancini (Defender), Mario Hermoso (Defender), Bryan Cristante (Midfielder), Manu Koné (Midfielder), Wesley (Midfielder), Zeki Çelik (Midfielder), Donyell Malen (Attacker), Matías Soulé (Attacker), Paulo Dybala (Attacker)
Roma’s predicted 3-4-2-1 gives them a solid base with three defenders and two central midfielders able to protect the back line. It also leaves Donyell Malen and Matías Soulé close to Paulo Dybala, which should help Roma link play and attack the spaces between Lazio’s midfield and defence.
Lazio (4-3-3)
Predicted lineup: Edoardo Motta (Goalkeeper), Adam Marusic (Defender), TBC (Defender), Luca Pellegrini (Defender), Mario Gila (Defender), Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (Midfielder), Nicolò Rovella (Midfielder), Toma Bašić (Midfielder), Matteo Cancellieri (Attacker), Pedro (Attacker), Tijjani Noslin (Attacker)
Lazio’s predicted 4-3-3 should give them width through the front three and enough midfield support to try to compete centrally. With Matteo Cancellieri, Pedro and Tijjani Noslin ahead of the midfield trio, they can look to stretch Roma and create chances from wide areas and transitions.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Roma | Lazio | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Roma | Lazio | Donyell Malen against Adam Marusic could be important if Roma look to isolate the wide defensive channel and attack quickly. |
| Roma | Lazio | Bryan Cristante against Fisayo Dele-Bashiru may shape the midfield balance, with both sides needing control in central areas. |
| Roma | Lazio | Donyell Malen is key for Roma because he has been part of a front line that has helped drive their recent scoring run. |
| Roma | Lazio | Matteo Cancellieri is key for Lazio because he offers one of their main attacking outlets in a front three that needs to threaten Roma early. |
