Match Analysis

Lazio's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a significant 5-0 loss to Bologna followed by a draw against Torino and a narrow victory over Atalanta. Their attack has been relatively consistent, averaging 2.0 goals per game over the last five matches, but defensive lapses have led to an average of 1.4 goals conceded per game.

Final Prediction

Roma's defensive sturdiness gives them a slight edge in this encounter, particularly if they can maintain their recent form of keeping clean sheets. A key factor to watch during the game will be whether Lazio can break through Roma's defense, or if Roma will capitalize on their superior expected goals metric to secure an important victory in their pursuit of a higher league position.
