The wait is over, and the Capital Derby is almost upon us. Lazio and Roma face off in a fundamental, direct confrontation that will say a lot about the race for a place in the Champions League for both teams. The Romans arrive with two different minds at the match because only the Giallorossi have moved forward in Europe, but these are separate games and what happened before counts for little. The Biancocelesti said goodbye to the Conference League this week and can now focus only on the championship, but the bad performance in the Netherlands against AZ Alkmaar could leave some aftermath. The Eagles have recently struggled to express their game and are really not very concrete in the goal area. The numbers say that Maurizio Sarri’s team has never scored more than one goal in the last 6 official matches.
After beating Real Sociedad and making it to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, José Mourinho’s Roma know a few more things for sure. They are proving to be a solid and concrete team, especially after having recovered so many players from injuries. Dybala and his teammates are therefore full of confidence, but they have to be careful because sometimes there is a drop in concentration, as happened with Sassuolo. In the first leg, it ended with the victory of Lazio, but there were many absentees. This time the only starter in doubt is Ciro Immobile, who however hopes to make it to at least start from the bench.

Roma Predicted XI: Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Zalewski, Cristante, Matic, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Dybala; Abraham.
Prediction
Although it’s hard to pick a winner here, we get the impression that Roma and Lazio will both have the ability to find the back of the net at some point during this match.
It is looking more and more likely that it will wind up being a tie. As a result, we are of the opinion that it will be a very close contest, with the score ending in a 1-1 tie at the conclusion of the contest.
Inter host Juventus at the Meazza stadium in the Italian derby, which closes the 27th round of Serie A. Both teams are returning from the round in Europe. Inter drew 0-0 against Porto, detaching the pass for the quarterfinals of the Champions League by virtue of the first leg victory in Milan. While Juventus won 2-0 against Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadion and will play in the quarterfinals of the Europa League. In the league, however, the Nerazzurri suffered a surprise defeat against Spezia, while the Bianconeri beat Sampdoria 4-2 at the stadium.
Inter are in second place in the standings with 50 points, a good 18 less than leaders Napoli, while at the moment Juventus are seventh, but pending the appeal to the Sports Guarantee College, there is the possibility that the 15-point penalty is cancelled. The precedents are on Juve’s side; Allegri will have to dose his energies after the away match in the Europa League and will not be able to count on Kean, who will serve the second day of disqualification. Still in doubt is Di Maria from the first minute, and Chiesa was decisive in the final in Germany. Vlahovic has unlocked himself in Europe and now wants to confirm himself in the league; Pogba, Alex Sandro, and Milik are still out; Bonucci and Miretti are to be evaluated. Inzaghi should confirm the 352 with Lukaku and Lautaro in attack. Absent Skriniar, Dumfries-Darmian ballot right. Bastoni stopped with a problem in his left thigh and will be out for two weeks; Gosens is also out due to injury.

The recent scorelines that the Inter Milan defense has posted shed light on the reality that this has been an excellent time for the team’s defense. Inter Milan’s defense has been quite stingy lately, as a result of which only four goals have been scored against them in the last six matches that they have competed in.

Inter Milan vs Juventus Predicted XI
Inter Milan Predicted XI: Onana; Darmian, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Lukaku.
Juventus Predicted XI: Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Rugani; De Sciglio, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria; Vlahovic.
Prediction
We think that Juventus will need a number of things to go their way before they can score a goal against Inter Milan. We also think that Inter Milan has a good chance of scoring at least once to take the lead.
Taking all of this into consideration, we believe that it will be a very close game, with Inter Milan emerging victorious by a score of 1-0 when all is said and done.
In the Superclasico of the 26th round of La Liga, at the Nou Camp, Barcelona hosts Real Madrid in a direct clash at the top of the table.

Decisive Benzema, the man most feared by the Blaugrana fans, while in the last round of the championship the Blancos prevailed 3-1 against Espanyol. This is the Classic number 253 in official matches; the first is dated 1916 in the semi-final of the Spanish Cup. The previous ones leaned slightly on Real’s side, but this time the 9-point difference in the standings could make the difference in favor of Barcelona. For Ancelotti, it risks being the last chance to reopen the championship discussion, a probable 433 with the offensive trident. Valverde, Benzema, and Vinicius Junior. In midfield, Modric, Camavinga, and Kroos. The same game system is available to Xavi, who can count on the scoring ability of striker Lewandowski, who has already scored 15 goals this season. Together with him, Raphinha and Gavi form the offensive trident.
