AS Roma vs Lazio
There will be no holds barred at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, as the two Rome giants prepare for battle, both with a glittering prize at stake.
Visitors Lazio sit in fourth and want at least a Europa place, but have a slim Champions League hope, while second-placed Roma have the Champions League as a reality… and dreams of supremacy. As with all dreams, the betting odds aren’t kind but try telling that to the passionate Rome fans.
Roma’s Edin Dzeko and Lazio’s Ciro Immobile have enjoyed outstanding seasons, with 25 and 20 league goals. SBOBET’s Asian Handicap Betting pitches Roma at 1.87 with a -0.50 handicap with Lazio at 2.06 with the same start. Both teams need a win to keep their dream alive and a defeat for either will damage morale in the crucial run in. This could be an epic!
The day before, Juventus visit Atalanta in the hope of extending the Old Lady’s lead to heap early pressure on Roma. The hosts are unbeaten in five and in a Europa spot so this is no walk in the park for Juve, at 2.23 to win.
Third-placed Napoli have a tough away clash in Milan as Inter aim to revive their hopes of making a Europa charge, after losing a nine-goal thriller to the Viola last week despite hot shot Mauro Icardi firing a hat-trick. If Lazio beat Roma on this week, Napoli will need to keep a firm grip on third place.
Fiorentina’s thrilling win over Inter has kept alive their own hopes of Europe and a visit to virtually doomed Palermo is a good chance to gather momentum.
At the bottom end, Crotone still hold onto hope of survival, in 18th place and five points from safety, and face sixth-placed Milan, another Europa chaser.
The team in Crotone’s sights are Empoli, but the 17th-placed club have a winnable home fixture to already safe Sassuolo.
It’s time to hold your nerves!
