Lazio vs. Roma: Match Prediction
Recently, Marco Baroni's side has not been impressive in terms of results. Notably, Lazio's scoring has declined: they have scored only five goals in their last six league matches, and only once did they score more than one goal in a game. Additionally, they failed to score against Bologna and Venezia, teams with less reliable defenses.
Roma is in good form and has achieved several consecutive victories, albeit mostly with minimal margins, as their attacking play has not been ideal. In 7 of their last 9 Serie A matches, Claudio Ranieri's team has scored only one goal. Meanwhile, they have conceded just two goals in their last eight league games.
Also noteworthy is that in the last five head-to-head encounters in the league, the teams have never scored more than two goals combined. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
