Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | Goals | DIFF | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | Lazio | 11 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 31:12 | 19 | 28 |
5 | Roma | 11 | 9 | 0 | 2 | 21:7 | 14 | 27 |
The Derby della Capitale is a total thriller with AS Roma claiming the full bragging rights to rule the City of Rome. This is a special derby because there was only 1 point difference between Roma (27) and Lazio (28). It is also the first derby without the iconic Roma Captain Francesco Totti who retired from professional football last season. Roma and Lazio have won their last 3 games, respectively.
The last time Roma defeated Lazio at the Olimpico Stadium was in the 2015-2016 Season with a 2-0 thanks to the goals by Edin Dzeko and Gervinho. There is one big ex-, Kolarov who is now playing for Roma played for Lazio since the 2007 to the 2010 making 104 appearances and scoring 11 goals.
A quick signal by Lazio with a goal ruled out in the 2nd minute because forward Ciro Immobile is caught offside after the action started with Senad Lulic with a through ball.
2′ – Immobile thinks he has an early goal but the offside flag is raised.
