It's not a top-of-the-table clash, but Friday's Lazio vs. Roma match could still have penty of implications in the Serie A title race.
The latest edition of the Derby della Capitale (a.k.a. the Rome Derby) pits the age-old foes against each other with Roma very much in the thick of the chase for the Scudetto. The Giallorossi sit third with 34 points and would go level with second-place Inter Milan with a victory over their crosstown rivals. Inter would be able to reclaim the three-point cushion when the Nerazzurri face Juventus on Sunday, but a Roma win would pile even more pressure on an Inter team already under the gun to keep pace with league-leading Milan.
For Lazio, Friday's match has less to do with staying in the title race as it does with maintaining a spot in the top half of the table. The eighth-place Biancocelesti are well off the pace of the league leaders, but European aspirations as well as the opportunity to hurt a rival are fine motivators — and with more than half the season left to play, a strong performance against Roma could be the jumping off point to a run up the table.
