Lazio vs AS Roma

Gian Piero Gasperini (67 years and 238 days) is the second oldest coach to win a Rome derby considering all competitions, behind only Claudio Ranieri (73 years and 77 days on 5 January)

Lazio have lost three of their first four games in a single season for only the third time in the last 50 Serie A seasons, after 2023/24 and 2014/15.

Lorenzo Pellegrini has scored four goals against Lazio in Serie A, all while playing for Roma; the Biancoceleste team is his favorite opponent in the Italian topflight.

Roma are unbeaten in their last four league derbies against Lazio (W2 D2), conceding just one goal; the last time the Giallorossi avoided defeat in multiple derbies against the Biancocelesti in Serie A was between April 2013 and December 2016 (eight in that case – W5 D3).

Lazio have not lost any of their last eight home derbies against Roma in Serie A (W4 D4) – already a record run for the Biancocelesti in these matches (the Giallorossi's last away win dates back to December 4, 2016, a 2-0 victory with goals from Strootman and Nainggolan) – although they have drawn the two most recent ones; only twice have the two teams recorded three draws in this exact fixture in the competition: between 1990 and 1992 and between 1964 and 1966.

Lazio could lose three of their first four games in a single Serie A campaign for only the third time in the last 50 seasons, after 2023/24 and 2024/15. Furthermore, considering the final part of last season, the Biancocelesti have lost three of their most recent four league games (W1), as many as they lost in their previous 21 (W8, D10, L3).

Roma lost their most recent match against Torino and have not lost consecutive Serie A games in 2025; the last time they did so was between November and December 2024 (four consecutive defeats in that case, two under Juric and two under Ranieri).

Since last season, only Everton (10) have drawn more home games than Lazio (nine, level with Brighton, Crystal Palace, Rayo Vallecano and Wolfsburg) in Europe's top five leagues.
