AS Roma vs Lazio – Predicted lineup and team news AS Roma will face their city rivals Lazio on Sunday morning in their next Serie A match. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team currently sit fifth in the table with 67 points from 36 games, level on points with fourth-placed AC Milan. Roma come into this derby in strong form, unbeaten in their last five matches with four wins and one draw.
They have also won their last three league games, including a convincing 4-0 victory over Fiorentina and an exciting 3-2 win away at Parma. AS Roma team news Ahead of the Derby della Capitale, Gasperini’s squad has seen a mix of positive and concerning fitness news, with encouraging updates in attack but a new issue arising in midfield. Lorenzo Pellegrini and striker Artem Dovbyk have both recovered from thigh problems and are back training fully with the team.
Pellegrini is expected to begin the match on the bench, while Dovbyk adds valuable depth in attack as cover for Donyell Malen. However, Manu Koné remains a significant doubt after suffering another setback with his recurring muscle injury during the final training session. Roma will definitely be without Evan Ferguson, as his loan spell has effectively come to an end following ankle surgery.
Winger Bryan Zaragoza is also unavailable due to a knee injury, while Stephan El Shaarawy is very unlikely to be involved because of an ongoing adductor problem. AS Roma predicted lineup Possible AS Roma starting XI: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Cristante, Kone, Wesley; Soule, Dybala; Malen When will the match kick off? The match will kick off at 11am BST on Sunday, 17th May.
