Sunday’s Serie A action closes out with the latest edition of the famous Derby della Capitale rivalry between Lazio and Roma. The stakes are high for the eternal rivals as they vie for a sought-after top-four finish.
It’s been nearly 96 years since the first iteration of this iconic fixture, but there’s no love lost between Lazio and Roma. Indeed, both teams head into this 162nd Serie A derby with high ambitions, seeking more than just bragging rights.
Lazio’s pursuit of a second top-four finish in three years got back on track last weekend as Gustav Isaksen’s second-half winner inspired Marco Baroni’s side to a crucial 1-0 victory at Atalanta.
