There will be electricity in the air at the Olympic Stadium in
Rome
for this new derby of the eternal city, this Sunday afternoon. Because this clash between Roma and Lazio obviously goes beyond the strict framework of sport. It is a question of local supremacy, identity, culture and politics between these two institutions that are opposed on all levels.
In the standings, Roma, tenth, is already fifteen points behind its rival. The returning Claudio Ranieri tried to redress the situation by starting a series of two matches without defeat, but it is the Biancocelesti of Lazio who will approach this derby with the costume of favorite. Be careful, however: the slap received against Inter at home (0-6) showed that this team was not invincible.
The expected compositions
Rome: Svilar – Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka – Saelemaekers, Koné, Paredes, Angelino – Dybala, Pisilli, Dovbyk.
Lazio: Provedel – Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares – Guendouzi, Rovella – Tchaouna, Dele-Bashi, Zaccagni – Castellanos.
Where to watch the match?
This Roman derby between AS Roma and Lazio Rome counting for the 19th day of Serie A will be broadcast this Sunday on L’Equipe Live Foot, from 8:45 p.m.
