Video: Derby della Capitale - one of the fiercest rivalries in world football
One of the biggest rivalries in world football football will be on display this weekend with the Derby della Capitale taking place in the Italian top-flight.
With Lazio taking on AS Roma the two Serie A teams will be putting on show one of the most gripping football matches in the world as depicted in this documentary by ?Betway titled 'Forza Roma'.
At stake is not only the three points but pride, passion, bragging rights and more over who will dominate the Italian capital over the next few days.
The two sides clash at Stadio Olimpico in the second installment of the much anticipated clash this season with Lazio seeking a revenge after Roma conquered them 3-1 in September.
The Derby della Capitale towers above many football contests in the world because of its pre-match and post match passion and colour which defines the clash.
Saturday's match between Lazio and Roma is more special because apart from it being the 188th Rome derby, there is just one place separating the two teams on the league table.
The derby is expected to be even more exciting because the two teams are chasing for Champions League places and a slip up by Lazio could completely fade their chances as they are currently on 6th position on 38 points - seven points adrift of fourth-placed AC Milan.
Roma are fifth on 44 points and a victory for them will brighten their chances of leapfrogging AC Milan if they slip up in their match against Sassuolo.
So this makes Saturday's Derby della Capitale delicately poised with lots on offer both on and off the field like shown in the Forza Roma documentary below
