One of the most significant games of the Serie A calendar takes place today as Roma and Lazio face off in the first Derby Della Capitale of the season.
The two intense rivals go head to head for city bragging rights in one of the most heated derbies in world football. This Derby should be one of the most competitive in recent seasons, with both sides having assembled strong squads and looking to build momentum after recent results. Does the Derby come at a good time for Roma? There are arguments either way. Roma have won only one of their last six games, but that one win was just a few days ago, and was by a convincing 4-0 scoreline. Eusebio Di Francesco will be hoping his side can carry that form across into a more competitive environment, trying to get the edge over their long-term rivals. The coach has a virtually full strength squad to choose from, with Diego Perotti the only senior absentee. It means he has only made one or two changes to the lineup that beat Frosinone in midweek, with Edin Dzeko and Alessandro Florenzi coming into the team in place of Cengiz Ünder and Patrik Schick. Davide Santon keeps his place at right-back, meaning Florenzi will play in a more advanced position. The game kicks off at 2pm UK time.
