On Friday, starting with 19:45, the Lazio – Roma match will be played, within the round with number 18 in Serie A.
Lazio, despite a modest start to the season, is in a comeback. At this moment, the Lazio occupy the 8th place in Serie A, with 28 points won after 8 victories and 4 draws. Simone Inzaghi’s team is positioned 3 lengths away from the European cups and 6 points behind the rivals in the capital, which are on the 17th place. In this context, any other result than the victory would terribly confuse Stefan Radu & co. in order to meet the seasonal objectives. Therefore, we expect the hosts to bet on an offensive game, similar to the one that AS Roma played throughout the current season.
In other words, the main question regarding the first 11 of Lazio is represented by Ciro Immboline’s teammate from the offensive. Until now, the Italian press speculates that Joaquin Correa will fully recover after the injury and will take the place of Felipe Caicedo in the 3-5-2 formula drawn by Inzaghi. We also point out that Senad Lulic and Thomas Strakosha are still injured. On the other hand, Paulo Fonseca will not have Pedro, injured. Thus, behind Edin Dzeko we will see the pair formed by Lorenzo Pellegrini and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Lazio (3-5-2): Reina – Luiz Felipe, Acerbi, Radu – Lazzari, Luis Alberto, Leiva, Milinkovic, Marusic – Immobile, Caicedo;
Roma (3-4-2-1): Pau Lopez – Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez – Karsdorp, Cristante, Veretout, Spinazzola – Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan – Dzeko.
AS Roma, without victory in the last 3 direct matches;
AS Roma comes after 4 games without failure in Serie A;
Lazio, 4 goals scored in the last 2 live matches with AS Roma at home.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,49
