Background information, news and team form

The Rome derby is one of the most anticipated and watched matches that the Italian top competition has to offer. The camps of both sets of fans are always impatient, waiting for hours in the adjacent pubs, preparing for a fight to the death with their arch rivals. Last season, when due to coronavir measures it was not possible to attend either of the matches of the arch rivals from the Eternal City, it will be wonderful to see the Stadio Olimpico's 72,000 capacity stands fill up again. Last season's derby ended amicably. In the first leg, Lazio won 3-0 at home after goals from Immobile and Alberto. In the second match, with As Roma as the home team, the Wolves won 2-0 after goals from Pedro and Mkhitaryan. This season we are facing a completely different match. Both teams are led by new managers in the case of Lazio it is Maurizio Sarri, who has been ordaining Lazio his Sariball for some time and in the case of Wolves it is the famous Jose Mourinho, who ended his stint in the islands in the colours of Tottenham. Another significant change will also be, for example, the loss of the star scorer Džeko, who left AS Roma after 7 years in the summer and moved to the team of the reigning champion Inter, which, incidentally, is led by the former Lazio coach Inzaghi. Under Jose Mourinho, As Roma has improved mainly its defensive performance, thanks to which As Roma already occupies the 4th place guaranteeing entry to the Liga MIsters. Both teams will surely aim to play in the Millionaire's League, so a win in this derby means a defacto lead of 6 points.

 

 

Betdoin's view of the match 

Lazio go into this duel as favourite at odds of 2.50. A draw is available at odds of 3.40, and if you want to bet on the visiting Wolves, a win for Jose Mourinho's team is available at odds of 3. The goal line is set at the classic over 2.5. From Betdoin's point of view, there is no over yellow card bet in this match. The line is written high at over 6.5 and although it's a derby, a lot can happen. From historical stats, often the team that is listed as the home side does not lose, so a bet on the home side without a draw, for example, might seem an interesting option.
