The two sides have gone head to head eight times since 2022 with all but one of those meetings coming in the Italian top flight. The results have been fairly balanced, with both sides winning three games each and two ending in a draw. This series of matches lacked entertainment as the average number of goals per game was just 1.37.
Lazio team overview
After missing out on a place in Europe for the first time in six seasons last year, Lazio would have entered the 2025-26 campaign hoping to make amends, but their performances have been disappointing.
The Eagles began their campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Como and, while they responded with a 4-0 win over Hellas Verona on matchday two, their problems were visible once again in the 1-0 defeat to Sassuolo last weekend.
However, head coach Maurizio Sarri will get motivation from how well Lazio have been at home over the last couple of months, losing only one of the last nine games at this ground.
Patric has not featured this season due to a hamstring injury, and Sunday’s game comes too soon for him. The hosts' injury concerns also include Matías Vecino, Nicolò Rovella, Manuel Lazzari and Samuel Gigot.

Roma team overview
Roma finished in the top six for the fourth consecutive season last year and have made a stronger start than their hosts to the 2025–26 Serie A campaign.
I Giallorossi kicked off their season with back-to-back 1:0 wins, beating Bologna at home and Pisa on the road. Eager to secure a third consecutive victory, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team hosted Torino on Sunday. Despite controlling 73% of possession and taking 22 shots, they ultimately lost 1-0.
Paulo Dybala was substituted at the start of the second half due to injury, ruling him out of the Derby della Capitale. The visitors' injury concerns also include Aston Villa loanee Leon Bailey, Mario Hermoso and Edoardo Bove.

Prediction
Although Roma have won two of their three games this season, their form is not far off that of the visitors, and previous meetings between the two sides have tended to be close affairs. Lazio have lost only one of their last nine home games, and Roma have lost just one of their last 12 away Serie A matches — both of which are further reasons to expect a close game. I am tipping a low-scoring draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Five of the last seven home games of Lazio ended with under 2.5 goals.
- All the last four Serie A games of Roma ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Five of the last seven league games of Lazio ended with under two goals.
