Roma - Lazio
Stadio Olimpico

Both Roma and Lazio will be aiming to put a difficult few weeks behind them with a Derby della Capitale victory at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.

Roma’s inconsistent form continued in dramatic fashion last weekend as they were torn apart 4-1 by Atalanta. Finishing the match with just nine men, the loss means the Giallorossi have not won back-to-back matches since early January.

Daniele De Rossi was sent to the stands by Luis Enrique for disciplinary reasons after the midfielder was late to a team meeting on the morning of the match. It was to be the start of Roma’s misery, but they will look to put that behind them and focus on squaring the season ledger with Lazio.

De Rossi is not expected to be further sanctioned for the Bergamo episode - however Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and Marco Cassetti will miss the derby following their dismissals. Fernando Gago reached the yellow card limit and is also out. Nicolas Burdisso is a long-term casualty, but on the other hand the inspirational Francesco Totti returns from a one-match stop.

Lazio ended a difficult week in battling fashion, overcoming Fiorentina 1-0 thanks to Miroslav Klose. Edy Reja had resigned earlier in the week, however that wish was not granted and the Coach has now backed down. “The topic of my future is closed. Let’s bury the hatchet and move on,” so he stated after the Viola victory.

That win ensured Lazio keeps pace with Udinese in the battle for the final Champions League position and a derby triumph will see the Biancocelesti move 10 points ahead of their city rival. Reja will be looking for derby veterans Cristian Ledesma, Matuzalem and Stefano Mauri to hold the team together.

Reja is lamenting a long injury list which has robbed him of Senad Lulic, Stefan Radu, Tomasso Rocchi, Abdoulay Konko, Luciano Zauri, Christian Brocchi, Marius Stankevicius and Lorik Cana.

While Lazio rejoiced after a last-minute triumph earlier in the campaign, it was Roma smiling following a Totti brace which secured a 2-0 win in 2010/11. In Roma’s ‘home’ matches, a draw has been the most frequent result (on 30 occasions), whilst the Giallorossi have enjoyed 25 wins to Lazio’s 13.

Keep an eye on: Fabio Borini (Roma) – Borini’s value continues to rise after seven goals to start 2012. Looked the only Roma player capable in Bergamo and after making his Italy debut on Wednesday, Borini will look to cap off the week in style.
