AS Roma vs Lazio Match Preview: Serie A Clash on May 17, 2026

AS Roma host Lazio at Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 17 May 2026, in Serie A Regular Season - 37. Roma arrive sitting 5th on 67 points, chasing Europa League qualification, while Lazio are 9th with 51 points and a positive goal difference of 2.

AS Roma Availability

Roma have two concerns in attack. Evan Ferguson (Ankle Injury) is sidelined and will not feature, removing a centre-forward option from the hosts’ rotation. Bryan Zaragoza (Knee Injury) is doubtful and faces a late fitness test. With Donyell Malen, Roma’s leading league scorer on 13 goals, and Matías Soulé, the team’s top assist provider with 5, both listed as fit in the data, the Giallorossi retain their primary creative and goalscoring threats despite these absences.

Lazio Availability

Lazio are hit in goal and at the heart of defence. Ivan Provedel (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, forcing a change in goalkeeping duties. Alessio Romagnoli (Red Card) is sidelined through suspension, weakening Lazio’s central defensive stability and leadership.

Impact Summary

Roma’s attacking structure remains largely intact, with Malen and Soulé available to drive a frontline that has produced 55 league goals. Lazio’s main losses are structural rather than attacking, with the absence of Provedel and Romagnoli potentially disrupting a defence that has conceded 37 goals so far.
