It’s the Derby della Capitale as AS Roma and Lazio will clash in the Italian Serie A, and Roma’s suspended Francesco Totti has already made his point ahead of the match.
The Italian striker has perhaps made the bluntest prediction of the year: the Giallorossi will lose against Lazio in Roma, the Italian striker believes.
The competition in the Serie A is extremely interesting this season as Biancocelesti incredibly lead the way having won 7 of their 9 matches played so far. Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus can only be content with their respective spot behind Lazio whereas local rivals AS Roma are struggling to shine this season.
Their 2-0 victory over Lecce last weekend saw them doing just enough to be in the top half of the Italian Serie A table ahead of this weekend’s derby. However, AS Roma – who are 10 points off Lazio – have lost their talisman in the Lecce match through suspension.
Francesco Totti was flashed the red card and will eventually not participate in Saturday’s crucial Derby della Capitale. So how will the play maker spread out his influence upon the Giallorossi? Still hurt by his unfortunate suspension, Francesco Totti told Mediaset Premium:
“The derby? I’ll watch it from home, because I’d suffer too much I am to be at the stadium.”
The fact is that Totti is anticipating defeat for the struggling AS Roma as Lazio have proven to be the team of the moment in Italy. Every talisman is expected to think positively and encourage their team to win, but Francesco Totti has been frank enough to share his prediction with the public – and it’s a bad one for Giallorossi fans.
“Who will win? Lazio!,” Totti stated before adding, “And Floccari will score from the penalty spot.”
Will AS Roma endure bad fate against Lazio like Francesco Totti has predicted? The Giallorossi are poised to pull out something better than a defeat, especially after their confidence-boosting win the Champions League earlier this week.
