Storylines
Lazio: Sarri’s men are seventh with eight points from five games and are winless in three in Serie A, four if you count European competition. Pedro, who is now with Lazio, scored for Roma in this fixture last time they met in the Italian top-flight in a 2-0 win. Ciro Immobile leads the way with six league-best goals so far and will aim to add to that tally here.
Roma:
Mourinho’s side are fourth on 12 points from five matches and within three points of leaders Napoli. Roma won their last meeting with Lazio and have both Lorenzo Pellegrini and Jordan Veretout on three goals so far this season. The Giallorossi have lost once on the road this campaign but this not really an away game as it will be played in their home stadium.
Prediction
Fireworks. Sarri and Mourinho should be entertainment on their own and there is plenty of talent on the pitch to produce some quality soccer as well. Expect goals and for things to get chippy. Pick: Lazio 2-2 Roma.
