6th december 2009: Rome - Lazio

ROMA
Claudio Ranieri is doing a good job with Rome, the potential of the team is to be the 3th or 4th team of the league, giving solidity to the defence and trying to adapt his schemas to the players' skills. 3 wons, 1 draw and 1 loss the last 5 games and at home the average score is 2 goals.
Francesco Totti is in great form and when he plays well usually Rome win.

Team news: only Tonetto will miss the game.

Home form: WWLWW
Overall form: LWDWW

LAZIO
The other side, Lazio, have lot of troubles with the manager Lotito and inside the team. Neither the change of manager gave a push to the morale and during the week the team is also out of Europa League after a loss against a modest team.

Team news: Pandev, Ledesma and Cruz will miss the game. Will be confirmed the defence that didn't conceed goal in the last 2 games

Away form: DDLLD

HEAD TO HEAD
11-04-09 Lazio 4 - 2 Roma
16-11-09 Roma 1 - 0 Lazio

VERDICT
This is the hottest game of the serie A and no one want to lose it. Lazio seems the weak one but the derby is a game apart and open to all results. A small bet on Rome or over 2,5 for me here.
