Lazio and Roma duel in crucial Rome derby clash

The Derby della Capitale is always a fiery fixture, yet this penultimate Serie A battle between Rome rivals Lazio and Roma (12/5 to win with Coral) carries more meaning than most.

Having spent the past few matchweeks tussling for second spot, and the automatic Champions League place that goes with that, the Eagles and Giallorossi now have the chance to tackle each other directly.

In the reverse, the Stadio Olimpico sides split the spoils 2-2 in dramatic fashion, so back the Italian capital clubs at 6/4 to end on even terms again, and 9/1 to repeat the previous scoreline.

Giallorossi talisman Francesco Totti was the goal hero against the Eagles last time, as the loyal and lethal forward bagged a brilliant brace to clinch a valuable point for the Eternal City outfit.

Totti and fellow Roma stalwart Daniele De Rossi have the characters for big occasions, and are priced at 13/2 and 12/1 to strike first and last respectively, while midfield dynamo Radja Nainggolan, who was on target last time out, is available at a tempting 10/3 in the anytime market.

Lazio, meanwhile, must recover from a difficult midweek defeat to champions Juventus in the Coppa Italia final. With no silverware left to fight for, Stefano Pioli’s men, who sit one point adrift of Roma, need to dust themselves off and ensure they return to Europe’s top club competition next campaign.
