AS Roma vs Lazio Prediction & Betting tips
It is no secret to anybody that this type of matches are intense and special, since there is a lot at stake. For that reason and knowing that both teams have what it takes to attack and advance their lines, we believe that the bet “plus 8 corners” is interesting to bet. Remember that the “Loba” usually specify and give corner shots in their matches, repeating this pattern as local. Besides, do not forget that your classic rival also plays in the Olympic stadium, not feeling a visitor in this opportunity. It has good players to register between 2 to 3 corners per stage and help us in achieving this pick.
Rome:
The “Loba” won Frosinone midweek, managing to add 8 points in the general table. For now, your campaign can be classified as acceptable but somewhat irregular (2 wins, 2 draws and 2 falls). The team has lost important players in the midfield, noticing this in their first league games and their Champions League debut against Real Madrid (3-0 defeat that could be more bulky if the “meringues” did not miss so many goal situations ). Of course, the only positive thing about the team is that it generated many corners in favor (stepped rival area but without much weight to say). For this match it is expected that coach Di Francesco will put the best he has, as there is a lot at stake. For this duel is expected to repeat the 4-3-3 system that has been used regularly, which has not yet been fully set.
As a local in the Olympic stadium, Roma have played 3 matches so far, adding 5 points out of 9 played. It comes to equal 3-3 before Atalanta, to equal 2-2 against Chievo and to overcome Frosinone as mentioned in the previous paragraph. If we analyze the performance of the “Loba” in this condition, we can conclude that he had problems to win in his first league games. Suffice it to know that he was losing 1-3 to Atalanta and that he was winning 2-0 to Chievo to corroborate this claim (poor defensive handling by conceding many goals in his goal). In terms of corners, we believe that the team can specify between 4 to 6 in total (2 to 3 per stage). As an added fact, we tell you that he registered the following number of corner kicks playing at home (3-11 against Atalanta, 9-2 against Chievo and 4-3 against Frosinone). For the Champions it registered a great amount in the Santiago BernabĂ©u (16-11 after occurring 9-2 in the first 45 ‘minutes of game).
Lazio:
The “laziale” team played against Udinese last Wednesday and won 1-2 after the final whistle. Currently has 12 units in total, standing out for being a competitive team despite adding good and bad results in this league start (2 losses in a row and 4 consecutive victories). His goal is to win the classic because of the emotional aspect and above all because it would suppose a positive psychic surge in the face of what is coming. For this derby it is expected that coach Simone Inzaghi will repeat the 3-5-2 system that he has been using regularly, which allows his boys to be dynamic and relatively tidy with the ball. Yes, much is expected from the strikers Luiz Alberto and Immobile, who could take advantage of the spaces that their classic rival usually leaves in defense.
Continuing with the analysis, you should know that Lazio will not feel like a “visitor” in this opportunity, since it also plays in the Olympic stadium. Therefore, next we will analyze the matches that he played in this sports venue. It comes from losing 1-2 to Napoli on the opening date, beating Frosinone 1-0 and beating Genoa last weekend (4-1 after winning 2-0 at the initial stage). If corners are involved, we trust that the team registers between 4 to 6 on average (2 to 3 in each half). In the 3 games played by the home team the following number of corner kicks (4-7 against the Neapolitans, 7-7 against the promoted and 5-3 against the Genoese) have been given.
In the last year and a half, Roma and Lazio have met 5 times in the Olympic stadium. Here we consider the games that both teams have played as “local”, since they share the same stadium. These were the results: Triumph 2-0 of Lazio in March 2017 for the Italian Cup, victory 3-2 of the Rome in April 2017 for the Italian Cup, victory 1-3 of Lazio in April 2017, triumph 2 -1 from Rome in November 2017 and 0-0 draw against April 2018. In terms of corners the following were given: 7-7, 11-0 for Roma, 8-5 for Roma, 6-7 for the Lazio and 7-2 for Lazio.
