AS Roma

Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma arrive this derby in decent domestic form with four victories in five recent outings, their Champions League qualification ambitions very much alive and the knowledge that a derby victory would send a statement to their rivals above and below in the table simultaneously. The Curva Sud will generate the south stand intensity that has made Roma's end of the Olimpico one of European football's most imposing fanbase environments. This derby carries a particular significance for the Giallorossi faithful: a win would mean the season double over Lazio, adding local bragging rights to what Roma hope will be a European-qualification-clinching final stretch.

Lazio

Marco Baroni's Lazio, Coppa Italia finalists who face Inter on May 13 in Rome, arrive this Monday derby in fairly decent form over their recent run of fixtures. The Biancocelesti's European ambitions are equally real, and a derby win would dramatically strengthen their position in a race where every point is decisive. The Curva Nord's passion, always the most intense of the Olimpico's ends, will be channeled into the kind of collective energy that has powered Lazio's recent run of domestic results. Despite the ongoing ultras tensions with club ownership, the derby traditionally unifies the fanbase around a singular and ferocious objective: Roma's defeat.
