Closing game of the matchday for Italian Serie A and it is the Rome derby!

Both teams are not in a very good shape, especially Lazio are struggling in the relegation zone while Roma having too many up and downs but at least up for the race for a Champions League place.

After the return of the captain Totti, Roma might seem bit more organized and improved but still they lack the team style play and a bit far from being reliable.

Lazio on the other hand are having really hard days both on and off the pitch. They had protests by the supporters after their return from Europa League match.

As for the prediction; I think Roma will have this game in hand if they at least perform above average but as mentioned above they are not reliable. Lazio players are also looking for a way to say sorry to their fans by getting a result here but still they lack the confidence and morale. They will trust the fever of the derby will boost their performance; it will add extra strength to them but definately not a good reasoning enough to back them. Therefore, the wisest choice seems like to go for a goal prediction. I expect some goals here from two teams that are urgently looking to improve their general performance.
