AS Roma vs Lazio Match Preview: Serie A Showdown

Match Context

AS Roma host Lazio at Stadio Olimpico in 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 with a goal difference of 2.

AS Roma Availability

Roma face issues in attack. E. Ferguson (Ankle Injury) is sidelined and will not feature, removing one of José Mourinho’s central striking options from the squad list. In addition, B. Zaragoza (Knee Injury) is doubtful, putting at risk another wide attacking option. With D. Malen (13 goals, 2 assists) and M. Soulé (6 goals, 5 assists) both available, Roma still retain their leading sources of goals and creativity despite these absences.

Lazio Availability

Lazio have problems at both ends of the pitch. First-choice goalkeeper I. Provedel (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, forcing a change in goal. In defence, A. Romagnoli (Red Card) is sidelined through suspension, removing an experienced organiser from the back line.

Impact Summary

Roma’s attacking depth is slightly reduced by the loss of Ferguson and the doubtful status of Zaragoza, but their primary attacking output remains intact through Malen and Soulé. Lazio, meanwhile, lose stability rather than goals, with Provedel and Romagnoli sidelined likely to weaken their defensive structure more than their forward threat.
