Our Tipster’s Angle

 The fierce rivalry between Roma and Lazio always has been a fascinating encounter. Roma would be the favorite to win this match, having seen the way two sides have fared this season in Serie A.

 Tip 1: Roma To Win

 Roma has been in fine form in recent times. Out of their last seven matches, they have won five, drawn one, and lost only one. The late equalizer against Inter in the last would give the side a lot of confidence to beat their inconsistent rivals. When Lazio has hosted Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma have won three out of the six matches, two ended up in a draw and Lazio was able to be victorious only on one occasion. Lazio’s home form this season is also not been impressive as they possess the 11th best home record in Serie A. Roma getting the victory against Lazio is also reflected by the odds that are available in Casumo sportsbook which are 2.35.

Tip 2: Total Goals Under 3

In the last five head to head matches, only one match had over three goals and the rest were all under three goals. In the last three home matches of Lazio, none of the encounters finished with over three goals. Apart from that, only one match had over three goals in the last five head to head matches that were hosted by Lazio. So there is every chance of this being a low scoring encounter and being less than three goals scored in this match. The odds for under three goals are 1.80 which are available in Casumo sportsbook.

Conclusion

 It is crucial for Roma to get a victory in this match as their third place is in serious threat with Atalanta and Juventus right behind their tails. Lazio on the other hand would have to display a much better performance at home than they have displayed to get anything out of this match.

Summarizing a couple of bets mentioned above.

1. Roma To Win @ 2.35
2. Total Goals Under 3 @ 1.80
