The Coppa Italia returns to the fold with another edition of the Derby della Capitale this week as Lazio lock horns with Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma side in a crucial encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.
Lazio (also known as SS Lazio) and Roma (commonly referred to as AS Roma) meet again 2 months after the Serie A match which ended in a draw 0-0.
