AS Roma :
After beating Atalanta Bergamo 1-0 at home, AS Roma suffered a painful 3-1 defeat by Inter Milan at home to coach Eusebio di Francesco. Against Hellas Verona (3: 0), Benevento Calcio (4: 0), Udinese Calcio (3: 1) and AC Milan (2: 0) as well as in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid (0: 0) and at Qarabag Agdam (2-1) then remained unbeaten for the Roma six times in a row before beating SSC Napoli (0-1) at home and losing their closest direct rivals to Inter. It followed in the premier class a spectacular 3: 3 at Chelsea and in Serie A a series of three 1-0 victories at FC Turin, against Crotone and FC Bologna, before with a 3-0 in the second leg against Chelsea the course was set for Champions League knockout rounds. Before the international break, the Roma won the not-so-easy away game at Fiorentina 4-2 and can now look back on five victories in a row across all competitions.
While Rick Karsdorp fails for sure, question marks are behind the ailing Radja Nainggolan, Bruno Peres and Patrick Schick, with only Nainggolan as a regular force would tear a gap.
Probable lineup: Alisson – Florenzi, Fazio, Manolas, Kolarov – de Rossi, Strootman, Nainggolan – Gerson, Dzeko, El Shaarawy
Lazio :
Lazio Rome caused a sensation even before the start of the season by winning the Supercoppa against Juventus and then with ten points from the first four league games including a 4-1 against AC Milan and a 3-2 draw at the opening of the Europa League at Vitesse Arnhem good for the season. Against the SSC Napoli (1: 4), however, it put a severe damper, which was of course very convincing answered. Since then, Lazio has played nine competitive games and has always won. While in the Europa League after wins against the SV Zulte-Waregem (2: 0) and OGC Nice (3: 1 away and 1-0 at home), the progress is already safe, arrive in Serie A at Hellas Verona (3: 0), Sassuolo Calcio (6: 1), Juventus (2: 1), Cagliari Calcio (3: 1), Bologna (2: 1) and Benevento Calcio (5: 1) Piece with the victory in Turin certainly as a highlight.
With Davide Di Gennaro, Ivan Vargic, Felipe Caicedo, Wallace and Felipe Anderson missing five players mainly in the second row to settle. More serious would be the failure of the ailing master-keeper Thomas Strakosha.
Probable lineup: Strakosha – Bastos, de Vrij, Radu – Marusic, Parolo, Lucas Leiva, Milinkovic – Savic, Lulic – Luis Alberto – Immobile
