Two of the biggest Italian rivals collide on Sunday, as the Derby della Capitale will see AS Roma and Lazio collide in Serie A.
Claudio Ranieri has sparked the hosts into life since taking over in the capital, as Roma have now avoided defeat in their last two to rise up to tenth in the league standings.
However, Lazio will likely be a solid selection this weekend, as they are in the midst of a title challenge. The away team has lost once in their last four, and a win on Sunday would close the gap at the top to three points.

AS Roma will take positives from their recent matches against Lazio, as they have avoided defeat in the last two league encounters. That includes a 1-0 win in this exact fixture in April.
However, Lazio have won three of the last five across all competitions. Interestingly, no more than one goal has been scored in each of the last five matches between the teams.

Roma vs. Lazio Prediction
