Roma-Lazio is a match valid for the nineteenth day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 8:45 p.m.: statistics, news, probable formations, prediction, live TV, streaming.
On a “short” day due to the commitments of Atalanta, Milan, Juve and Inter in the Italian Super Cup, the scene is taken by the derby of the Capital between Roma and Lazio, the highlight match of the first round of the 2025 championship, as well as the last of the first leg. What immediately jumps to the eyes, taking a look at the current standings, is the huge gap between the two city rivals: the biancocelesti against all odds are stationed in the middle of the Champions League zone and have collected as many as 15 points more than their “cousins,” protagonists despite themselves of a first part of the season completely to forget.
After changing three coaches since September, Ranieri’s cure seems to be beginning, albeit slowly, to take effect: Roma have only conceded 2 defeats in their last eight games between competitions. Problems remain – for example, the allergy to away matches, with the Giallorossi being one of the two teams along with newly promoted Venezia to have not yet won away from their home crowd – but the experienced Roman coach gives the impression of having found an antidote to the chaos that until a few weeks ago reigned undisturbed in the parts of Trigoria.
Too late to get back to dreaming of Champions League qualification? Probably yes, however, it cannot be ruled out that Roma will shift gears in the return leg, trying at least to get closer to the Europa zone again. The fact that they managed to avoid defeat at the San Siro against AC Milan (1-1) a week ago is, in any case, an important signal. Lazio, on the other hand, is fresh off another strong showing against leading Atalanta, which was stopped last Saturday at the Olimpico (1-1). A result that only boosts the self-confidence of Marco Baroni’s men, who got off to a great start after the home debacle with Inter last December 16, the only discordant note in a season that is so far bringing many satisfactions.
Roma-Lazio: the latest news on the lineups
In Roma, the ballot is on the three-quarter, with El Shaarawy expected to get the better of young Pisilli this time: next to Dybala will therefore be the former Milan man. Dovbyk is confirmed in attack, only bench instead for Pellegrini. The only one unavailable is Cristante: the midfielder continues to deal with an ankle problem and will have to miss the extracittadina as well.
Baroni, for his part, hopes to count on the convalescent Lazzari and Patric, who were already absent against Atalanta. If they do not make it back in defense it will be an emergency, since they would be lacking replacements. In any case, Pedro, Noslin and Vecino will not be available against Roma. The only change in the starting lineup is on the right: Isaksen will be preferred to Tchaouna this time.

The Prediction
Last April, with De Rossi on the bench, Roma managed to break the winning fast against Lazio but the statistical trend of the last derbies concerns the few goals scored in the stracittadina, in which the “Over 2.5” sign has not even appeared since March 2022. This time, on the other hand, there seems to be the preconditions for a match that is not poor in goals, since the Giallorossi need a victory that will be able to turn the season around and the Biancocelesti, by their nature, are unlikely to play a remittance game, settling for a draw. Watch out, too, for the number of cards, which may not be few in a challenge that has always been keenly felt and loaded with meaning.
Roma-Lazio’s likely lineups
ROMA (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, N’Dicka; Saelemaekers, Paredes, Koné, Angelino; Dybala, El Shaarawy; Dovbyk.
LAZIO (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dele-Bashiru, Zaccagni; Castellanos.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-2
