Lazio - Roma

Tonight 20:15 UK the derby of Roma is on the line. Both teams seem in a good shape but Roma needs the 3 points more than anyone else.

Mexes should come back alongside Juan in the center of the defense, still doubts for the side backs Tonetto/Cassetti, Cicinho/Panucci, for the CM Aquilani/Pizarro and for the left winger Mancini/Vucinic

Lazio is in a better form than last derby, but so is Roma. I'm predicting many goals again

When I was younger I used to support Lazio because of my love of Signori. What a player! As I got older I learned more about the club and their fans and decided that I couldn't support them as they represented that side of football which I abhor.

I had a lot of respect for the jobs that both Sven and Capello did at the respective clubs and this derby can be very entertaining at it's best and also very hard to predict. On this occassion.

I will go for a 2-2 draw.

I say Roma to win.

3-2 for Lazio in the end.. a doubtful penalty for them and the result isn't deserved at all, but this is the derby and you can expect the surprise. We played quite well even if we've been not so focused in the back four. We deserved to win but this is football

I felt Lazio did earn it more. They played well especially towards the end. That 3rd goal for Lazio was well taken. As for the penalty, I am not positive but from what I saw it looked like it was legitimate.

Roma did get lucky with that accidental goal from Tadei. And Perrota's equalizer was superb. Totti got me mad sometimes with his diving.

Lazio played well especially in the first minutes of the first half and after that they played a good counter attack, but Roma lead the match and even if we got a lucky goal I think we deserved something more than Lazio, for the penalty from what I've seen it's more like Bianchi did the foul on Juan.

Totti recently is playing a bit too much for himself, when he has the opportunity to give the ball to a teammate he often decides to dribble the opponent to do the job by himself

Actually from what I saw I felt Totti was being too giving. There were some times when he should have dribbled himself and finish the job instead of giving it to a teammate. I actually want the old Totti who takes care of business.
