The Romans are on the pitch! – tips for the match of AS Rome and Lazio
There are two matches left in the 26th round of Serie A on Monday, involving the two teams from Rome. AS host Torino at home, while Lazio visit Florence, and it would be hard to say either game is a national fixture.
Roma-Torino
The overall picture in the post-Mourinho era at Roma is clearly more positive, with De Rossi’s Wolves only losing at home to Inter, while winning their second four league games and progressing in the EL. They now host Torino, who are enjoying a fine season and who, despite losing to Lazio a few days ago, are a dangerous opponent.
Although Torino’s season has been full of draws, Zapata’s side have only lost three times in Serie A since mid-October. Although it’s true that most of their points come at home, it’s no coincidence that the home side are odds-on at over 2. Abraham has been a long-time absentee for the home side, while Alessandro Buongiorno’s exit could have been a major problem for the visitors, but even without him Toro are not scoring more goals than before.
If you want to see a brutal goal fest, don’t pick this game, the odds of around 2.0 goals per game seem to be completely justified. The Bulls defence has been excellent this season, while the Wolves have been thin in several of their games – not to mention that the last five games between the two teams have only produced 9 goals.
It should be a tight 90 minutes, and while it’s true that Torino are getting a lot of cards away from home, we’re still going to go with Roma’s home side in the cards market, because if you take all league games into account, the average for the capital side is still higher.

✅ Prediction #1: Roma +0.5 card @1.87
Fiorentina-Lazio
It should be a similarly evenly matched encounter at the Artemio Franchi, as it would be difficult to pick a favourite in the Fiorentina-Lazio battle. The Viola, who started the season on a high, have stalled, with Italiano’s side only managing 6 points in their last 7 games, dropping them out of the top 5. Of course, there are a number of problems in Florence, with a large number of injuries making the manager’s job very difficult. With Castrovili, Dodo, Christensen and Biraghi still out injured and Kouamé infected with malaria, master Italiano may once again have a headache when it comes to his starting line-up.
As for Lazio, the form here has been mixed rather than negative, although there have been the odd defeats, such as at home to Bologna. The sky-blue side of Rome, on the other hand, are on pins and needles for the second leg of the Champions League, where Sarri’s side are now far from underdogs after a 1-0 home draw against Bayern Munich. Zaccagni is still not fit enough to start, Patric and Rovella are injured and Gila is suspended, but Lazio could have won in worse circumstances in Turin.
We’re sulking here and daring the visitors to win here, with Asian Hendi insurance. The arrival of Belotti has not solved Fio’s striker problems in one fell swoop, while Lazio’s defence has been very good this season. There is a draw in this game, but if we have to look at the three outcomes, we think a home win is the least likely.
✅ Prediction #1: Away win no bet: draw @1.65
✅ Prediction #2: Lazio +0.25 @1.85
