AS Roma vs Lazio: Serie A Match Preview and Availability

Match Context

AS Roma host Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, Rome, on 17 May 2026 in Serie A Regular Season - 37. Roma arrive fifth on 67 points with a goal difference of 24, while Lazio sit ninth on 51 points and a goal difference of 2.

AS Roma Availability

Roma have one confirmed absentee and one fitness concern. E. Ferguson (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. B. Zaragoza (Knee Injury) is doubtful. With only one definite injury, key attacking figures D. Malen (13 league goals, 2 assists) and M. Soulé (6 goals, 5 assists) are both available, preserving Roma’s main creative and goalscoring outlets.

Lazio Availability

Lazio face issues at both ends of the pitch. I. Provedel (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, removing their first-choice goalkeeper from contention. In defence, A. Romagnoli (Red Card) is sidelined through suspension, depriving Lazio of an experienced central defender for this derby.

Impact Summary

Roma’s attacking structure remains largely intact, with no top scorer or top assist provider missing, so their offensive output of 55 league goals should not be significantly diminished. Lazio’s absences are concentrated in goal and central defence, threatening their stability at the back rather than their scoring potential, which stands at 39 league goals. No data is available to quantify individual attacking losses for Lazio, but the combination of Provedel and Romagnoli being sidelined could tilt the balance towards Roma’s forwards.
