The 31st round of Serie A ushered in a match, Roma faced Lazio at home. Roma have won 15, drawn 7 and lost 8 in the first 30 league games, which puts Roma in the middle of the top four. After De Rossi took over from Mourinho, he achieved very good results at one point. However, in recent times, Roma's consistency has seriously declined, winning only one of their four consecutive matches. This time, Roma faced Lazio. Roma have not won in the last 4 meetings between the two sides. The last meeting was in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, where Roma lost and were eliminated. This time again, Roma are hungry for revenge. As a result, Roma won with a total of 55 points, just two points away from Bologna in the Champions League zone.
Roma lined up 433. Dybala, Romelu Lukaku and El Shaarawy partnered up in the attacking trident. Cristante, Paredes and Lorenzo Pellegrini combined in midfield. Celik, Diego Llorente, Gianluca Mancini and Angelinho started the game in the back four. Svillar was the starting goalkeeper. Tammy Abraham, Zalewski and Spinazzola were on the bench.
Shortly after the start of the game, Paredes fired a long-range shot from the outside, a little higher. Five minutes later, Immobile won the ball on the left side of the penalty area and fired into the near corner. The result was a deflected kick. In the 9th minute, Llorente shot from a small angle in the penalty area and was blocked one after another, which was really helpless. In the 22nd minute, Manuel Pellegrini tried a long-range shot from the outside, but the goalkeeper saved the ball.
In the 34th minute, Celik's header went too high. In the 42nd minute, the deadlock on the pitch was finally broken! Dybala took a corner kick and Mancini headed it over, and the ball drilled into the goal like a cannonball! At half-time, Roma led Lazio 1-0.
In the second half, Tudor made aggressive substitutions, with Pedro, Patrick and Castellanos all coming off the bench. In the 48th minute, Roma got a free kick opportunity in front. Manuel Pellegrini took the penalty and he fired straight at goal, but it went high. In the 54th minute, El Shaarawy burst into the penalty area, faced the goalkeeper from close range, shot hard, and the ball hit the post and bounced out, which was a pity. In the 63rd minute, Daichi Kamada scored. However, the goal was disallowed due to offside. Lazio never managed to score. In the end, Roma narrowly beat Lazio 1-0 and successfully got revenge.
