Preview
Roma come into this after a 1-1 draw in mid-week against Vitesse in their UEL 2nd leg match of the Round of 16 stage.
Wittek and Abraham scored for either side to ensure a draw but Roma qualified 2-1 on aggregate to seal a place in the last 8 with the Englishman’s decisive goal in extra time making the difference.
In their previous Serie A clash, Roma drew 1-1 away to Udinese and need to get back to winning ways as they are 7th in the table with 48 points.
On the other hand, Lazio made it successive wins after a 1-0 victory over Venezia in mid-week with Immobile scoring the winning goal.

The strike was enough to send Lazio to 5th in the table with 49 points as they too compete for a top 4 finish this season.
Hence, it is all to play for either side as another spillage of points could well seal the teams’ status this season.
Both sides last met in September, where Lazio won 3-2 at home.
Can Roma get their revenge or will Sarri’s men do the double over Jose’s gladiators?
