AS Roma
- AS Roma have won four of their last five matches, with one draw (W4, D1), including a 4-0 home win over Fiorentina (W4, D1) and a 3-2 away win at Parma.
- Gian Piero Gasperini has instilled a high-pressing, high-scoring culture at AS Roma since his appointment in June 2025 and the results are evident.
- Donyell Malen is the talisman for Roma’s attacks, with 13 goals in 16 Serie A appearances, six of them coming in the last five.
- The Dutchman’s predatory finishing has helped to power Roma’s goal surge, with the club scoring 13 times across their last five league games.
- Roma currently sit fifth in the Serie A table with 67 points after 36 games, winning 12, drawing three and losing three at the Olimpico.
SS Lazio

- However, this style of play has not been effective enough for Lazio, who enter Sunday’s matchup in ninth place in the Serie A standings with 51 points from 36 games.
- Lazio have won six, drawn six and lost six on the road this season, with an average of 0.78 goals scored and 0.72 conceded per game.
- The Biancocelesti’s lack of a reliable goalscorer on the top level remains a serious issue, with top scorer Gustav Isaksen netting five goals in 29 league appearances this season.
Head-to-Head
- AS Roma have won two of the last three head-to-heads and are undefeated during that period.
- Roma’s home record is impressive, with 12 wins, three draws and three defeats and an average of 1.72 goals per game, netting 31 times across 18 home games.
Key Players
- Donyell Malen - 13 goals in 16 Serie A appearances, six in the last five.

Betting Insights
Over 2.5 goals at 1.97 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.79 seem like excellent bets here.
Prediction
Lazio have been perfect in their last three away games (W3, D0, L0), but I expect Roma’s momentum, their home advantage and the intensity of the Derby della Capitale to sway this game towards a high-scoring Roma win, with Lazio struggling to break through.
