Derby match in the city of Rome this Sunday with always a lot of tension surrounding the clashes between Lazio and AS Roma in the Italian Serie A championship.

This may be one of the most unbalanced disputes in years between the 2 teams as AS Roma is pushing through and held the top spot until Inter’s match on Friday against Juventus and a Lazio team struggling through out the season and now only on the 16th spot of the table.

The home team has won 3 out of the past 5 matches played with the remaining 2 ended in draws which led them to rise up above the relegation zone and keep a somewhat comfortable 7 points advantage over the line.

Roma are clear favorites to win this match but with Lazio in a upward spiral and a stadium packed of hostile supporters will make their mission very difficult. Five straight victories lead Roma to the top spot and made them go head to head with Inter for the championship title.

Their away statistic is not that great with only 6 victories and no less than 7 draws in 16 matches played and a goal ratio showing 26 scored with a worrying 22 conceded,  most of their points coming from home matches.

My pick: Draw
