Lazio and Roma will battle it out for more than bragging rights in the second Derby della Capitale of this season on Monday, May 25th. Here are some live TV listings & online streaming options for Lazio vs. Roma.

Later today, Rome's famous Stadio Olimpico will host one of the most eagerly anticipated Derby della Capitale clashes in recent times. Whilst Lazio versus Roma will not decide the league title - with Juventus already securing their fourth straight Scudetto - a vital Champions League berth is at stake, as well as, of course, the usual bragging rights that come with winning a derby.

With Napoli having lost to the Bianconeri this past weekend, the Biancocelesti will be keen on making sure they do not drop points against the Giallorossi as Stefano Pioli's final match will be against the Partenopei this Sunday. Given that Italy's past poor performances in Europe have seen them lose that coveted fourth spot to the Bundesliga, only one team will be able to secure an automatic spot, whilst the other will have to navigate through a dreaded play-off.

And the significance of this clash is not lost on Pioli, who has guided his team to one of their best seasons in recent times:

"[With] head and heart. A combination that my players have brought to the pitch [many] other times and will do so tomorrow"

Meanwhile, Roma having gotten a taste of European competition both in the Champions League and then the Europa League will be desperate to avoid settling for third spot. Rudi Garcia's men have endured a season of two halves that first had them just one point behind Juventus heading into the Christmas break. However, a poor 2015 saw them quickly fall by the wayside and see la Vecchia Signora stroll to yet another league title without much fuss. Last season concluded with Juve earning a record 102 points, with Roma in a distant second - but with a record-breaking - 85. 

This time around, they are nearly 20 points off the pace and are dangerously close to slipping into third, should they not beat Lazio this evening and manage to finish off Palermo in their final game this Sunday.

CLOSE: With just two games remaining, will it be Lazio or Roma to secure automatic UCL football for next season?

Like his opposing tactician, Rudi Garcia will be keen on wrapping up the last two games of the 2014/2015 Serie A campaign with maximum points. The Lupi have not lost to the Aquile since the Coppa Italia final back in 2013, but their last two meetings in the league have ended as draws. In fact, one would have to look back to September 22, 2013 to see the last time Roma earned a win against Lazio, with goals from Federico Balzaretti and Adem Ljajic enough to get the job done.

And just as Pioli summarized his goals in his pre-match press conference quite succinctly, the former Lille boss could not be clearer as to what he expects of his men and their fans:

"It's up to us tomorrow to show that we are the strongest team..."

"...[and] I hope that the fans and the whole club push to earn all three points and thus conclude the season [on a good note]."

Pioli will have to do without a crop of key men, with Stefan Radu, Lorik Cana, Ederson, and Pereirinha all set to miss out; however, Dutch defender Stefan De Vrij will be ready to feature following their Coppa Italia loss to Juventus last week.

As for Garcia, long-term absentee Maicon has returned to the fold, but Kevin Strootman, Gervinho, and Leandro Castan are still all recovering from injuries. Veteran striker Francesco Totti, who is the Derby della Capitale's joint all-time leading scorer with 11 goals (alongside retired Brazilian-born attacker Dino Da Costa) and has made 40 appearances will certainly be in charge of leading the attack.

With a Champions League automatic spot on the line, this evening's Roman derby will definitely be an interesting one from kick-off to the final whistle.
