The Derby della Capitale is scheduled tonight in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia as Lazio and Roma go head-to-head in their road to secure glory.
After failing to win against Verona, Atletico Madrid and Inter, Lazio, despite everything, have regained their rhythm after getting 3 wins in each of their last 3 league games. in good form after a disappointing start to the season. Despite their past form, Maurizio Sarri’s men can qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League, but it will be difficult for them to secure a position in the next one.
Roma, meanwhile, have endured inconsistent form in this crusade and, although they have recovered faster than their city rivals after a difficult start, they have been stuck by Lazio in the Serie A standings by one point. The Giallorossi fought hard against Cremonese in the round of 16. Paulo Dybala’s penalty in the 85th minute helped them advance to this stage. Earlier, Frank Tsadjout’s goal in the 37th minute had given the visitors the lead and Romelu Lukaku’s equaliser in the 77th minute had given the hosts the enthusiasm to aim for another. The last Rome derby ended in a goalless draw, but the winner will have to be confident tonight.
These are the planned lineups for the adjustment according to Sky Italia:
Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Patric, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Vecino; Felipe Anderson, Castellanos, Pedro
Roma (3-5-2): Svilar, Mancini, Cristante, Huijsen; Kristensen, Bove, Paredes, Pellegrini, Zalewski; Dybala, Lukaku.
