Roma v Lazio Betting Tips [6 April 2024]

Lazio and Roma will put aside all their struggles in the season to face off in yet another Rome Derby on Saturday. Fifth placed Roma will be at home this time, taking on their seventh placed cross-town rivals. For Roma, the script is straightforward – a win boosts their top four hopes and deals a blow to Lazio’s own. This is also a chance at revenge after Lazio eliminated them from the Coppa Italia in January. Coming into the game unbeaten in six league matches, Roma will not have a better time to take on their arch-rivals. They’ve won four of those matches, though their most recent one ended in a 0-0 draw with Lecce. Roma is a transformed side, and comes here with only one loss in the last 10 matches. That loss was inflicted by runaway leaders Inter Milan. With 10 wins in 13 home league matches they’ll surely go into this game very confident. The appointment of Daniele de Rossi has improved the team’s chances for a top four finish and a win here will be a good statement. Under De Rossi the team has seven wins in 10 league matches. They will definitely have the belief coming into the derby.

Lazio have avoided defeat in four straight games against Roma, a momentum they’ll want to carry into the business end of the season. This season, the two have already met twice, Lazio winning 1-0 in the latest, a Coppa Italia game. Their reverse league fixture ended in a 0-0 draw and they come here with four straight clean sheets against Roma. Their recent form has however been dotted with inconsistent results, leading to a change in management. Maurizio Sarri is gone and the new man in charge, Igor Tudor will be leading them in his third game. In his first, they edged Juventus 1-0 but in the second, they fell 2-0 to Juventus in the Coppa Italia. Things aren’t about to get easy with the derby in sight, having lost five of their last seven matches. Lazio failed to score in three of their last six matches, and this will be another concern for the visitors. Playing as the away team, things have also been tough for Lazio, losing three of the last four. They’ve however won three of their last four away matches in Serie A, a run they’ll be keen to extend here.

This derby has been a tight affair in recent meetings and there haven't been many goals scored. Once again, the stakes are high as the two sides meet, and we expect another tight game, pointing to the possibility of a few goals. Only three goals have been scored in the last four meetings between these teams. Both sides managed to score in just one of the last eight. On the goals market, in the Roma v Lazio game we will back at least one side to fail to score.
