This season, Lazio and Roma both have new coaches.  Lazio is managed by Maurizio Sarri, while Roma is managed by Jose Mourinho.

Both AS Roma and Lazio set three points as targets produced in this Italian League weekend match.

In the middle of last week, Lazio drew 1-1 with host Torino.  Lazio avoided defeat thanks to Immobile's penalty goal in the 90+1 minute.  Meanwhile, Roma came back from the defeat against Verona by beating Udinese 1-0 through Abraham's single goal despite having to lose Pellegrini who got two yellow cards.

Sarri and Mourinho have only met once, namely in the 2018/19 Premier League.  At that time, Sarri was managing Chelsea, while Mourinho was managing Manchester United.  Playing at home to Chelsea, Sarri and Mourinho's meeting ended in a 2-2 draw.
