Watch Lazio end Roma's streak on Betfair!
Claudio Ranieri only lasted 17 months as coach of his beloved Roma and few Romanistas shed tears when he resigned in February, however he did achieve something in his short spell in charge that Vincenzo Montella is certain to find difficult to follow - four straight Derby della Capitale victories!
The latest collision between the Eternal City's fierce rivals takes place on Sunday afternoon and it's not just recent results that count against Lazio, as they haven't won as the "away" side in 13 seasons. Despite that, there are several reasons to consider them as a draw no bet option at [2.3].
Edy Reja's Champions League hopefuls were the better team in the Coppa Italia meeting that Roma "hosted" in January despite losing 2-1 and swiftly dealt with the challenge presented by Palermo last week, their habit of striking early coming in handy as Giuseppe Sculli got his first goals for the club.
Roma meanwhile suffered their first defeat under Montella against Shakthar Donetsk on Tuesday and there are already signs that neither his arrival nor Adriano's release will prevent their attacking stars from causing more problems than they score goals. The Giallorossi are winless in four at the Stadio Olimpico, their longest run since 2005, and can be laid at [2.5] if you expect that to continue.
That huge encounter is just one of ten Serie A games that Betfair customers can watch this weekend courtesy of Betfair Live Video, with other highlights including Inter's Friday night test at Brescia, who held them at the San Siro, and AC Milan's Sunday lunchtime match against doomed Bari.
There are enticing fixtures from all across Europe available to check out on Betfair Live Video with several sizzlers on the horizon as things get tense in divisions such as Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga.
The big clash in France pairs Rennes and Marseille on Friday evening as both try to assert their title credentials, while there's another Champions League six-pointer taking place in Germany as fourth-placed Mainz entertain second-placed Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday afternoon.
Early pacesetters Mainz have bounced back from a bleak winter stretch of ten losses in 16 to record wins away to Hoffenheim and Hamburg which leave them four points shy of third-placed Hannover. With Leverkusen faltering against Villarreal in the Europa League, Thomas Tuchel's side will target a first home triumph since November at [3.4].
