Lazio vs Roma Match Analysis & Prediction
10/01/2024 8:00 pm
Lazio and Roma will meet at the Stadio Olimpico in the pick of the quarter-final ties in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night.
Lazio continue to be one of the most in-form sides in Italy, as their last 12 league matches have now yielded an impressive 23 points.
That comes after a third straight victory was secured at the weekend, as Matias Vecino’s late goal secured Lazio a 2-1 victory at Udinese.
That saw Maurizio Sarri’s side pick up where they left off to start 2024, after Lazio signed off for 20233 with two victories over Empoli and Frosinone.
Lazio are a club with great pedigree in this competition, especially recently, as they have won it on five separate occasions in the 21st century alone.
However, since the depeature of former manager Simone Inzaghi in 2019 after winning the competition, they have gone out at the quarter-final stage in each season.
Jose Mourinho had another eventful night in the Roma dugout on Sunday, after the Giallorossi played out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta here in the capital.
Roma fell behind through Teun Koopmeiners’s goal, before Paulo Dybala equalised from the spot, as Mourinho would go on to be booked and then given a straight red card for dissent.
Just one win in five league matches is concerning for the Roma faithful, and they will agree they were slightly fortunate to overcome Cremonese 2-1 in the last 16 just a week ago.
Lazio’s quarter-final record might be poor, but Roma’s is even worse, as they have failed to get beyond this stage since the 2016-17 season.
While a 10-year spell between 2003 and 2013 saw Roma reach seven finals, winning two in 2007 and 2008, that form has evaded them in recent years.
Lazio vs. Roma Head to head
In the 67 previous meetings between these two teams, Lazio have claimed 21 victories while Roma have won 25, and they have drawn in 21. Roma have scored 92 goals and conceded 79 in the process.

Lazio Team News
Lazio are set to remain without captain and leading goalscorer Ciro Immobile for this game, as the Italian international has a hamstring injury.
Luis Alberto is also currently absent with a groin strain, and speculation around Felipe Anderson’s future could see Sarri opt for Mattia Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen out wide.
