The earlier match of the day was Lazio vs. Roma. Lazio had a poor start to the season, losing this match to Roma. Roma, on the other hand, is having a good time under Piero Gasparini, and the experienced manager is managing the Roma team well. Roma's best quality these days is their excellent defense and don't concede easily. Roma have conceded one goal in every match so far, over the past four weeks. Lazio made a major mistake trying to break through the defense with passes, which led to them conceding a goal. If Lazio continues making mistakes like this, they'll have a very hard time earning points in the upcoming matches.
