Form Preview

Lazio

Lazio have been going through a lot of trouble in the 2020-21 campaign. A fourth place finish in the previous campaign masks the problems that the club are going through at the moment. It has been difficult for manager Simone Inzaghi to do much about the defence, which has been leaking goals for fun. In fact, Lazio have been conceding too many goals for the last few seasons and it has prevented the club from finishing much higher in the league table. The club remain heavily reliant on Ciro Immobile, but Lazio have been continuously let down by a defence that has been conceding far too many goals.

Roma

Roma have been offensively solid in the 2020-21 campaign. This has helped them beat teams who have inferior quality. The ability to win comfortable games has put Roma in a strong position when it comes to the league standings. The club has incredibly shown a lot of resilience to avoid defeats. It will be difficult for other opponents to overcome Roma when they are in good form. The team has a good mix of youth and experience, while the presence of a significant goalscoring threat makes them a big threat against top teams.
