Roma and Lazio meet at the Stadio Olimpico for the third Derby della Capitale this season on Saturday.
There are two different faces in the respective dugouts now though, as Maurizio Sarri and Jose Mourinho have both left since the sides met in the Coppa Italia in January.
Igor Tudor made the perfect start to life with Lazio, beating his former club Juventus on Saturday, but he will have a tough task extending their good run in this fixture against a Roma side high on confidence under Daniele De Rossi.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.
Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 182
Roma wins: 68
Draws: 63
Lazio wins: 51
After numerous dull affairs between Sarri and Mourinho, we could see an entirely different Rome derby compared to the last few.
Many have gone in Lazio's favour of late, as the last four have yielded three 1-0 wins, as well as a goalless stalemate in the league last season, with none of those four games seeing the sides register more than 20 shots between them.
In that goalless draw, there were just 13 shots, while in the reverse fixture in Serie A this season, the two sides managed only a combined 15.
For the first time since 2021 when Paulo Fonseca got the better of Simone Inzaghi in a 2-0 Roma win, neither Sarri or Mourinho will be on the sidelines though, as it will now be a showdown between Tudor and De Rossi.
There is not much to separate the two in their all-time record, with Roma edging it 68 wins to 51, with 63 draws too, but Lazio frequently struggle when playing as the designated away team in this fixture.
Despite still playing on home soil, playing in front of the Roma fans has seen Lazio win just four of their last 29, while the Giallorossi have also registered some of the most emphatic wins in this fixture.
A 4-1 win as the 'away' side in 2016 was one of Roma's famous recent results, but that was not as sweet as a 5-1 victory over their rivals in 2002, when they came so close to retaining the Serie A title they won the year previously.
Lazio's 2-1 win over Roma in March 2000 proved crucial in them claiming a famous Scudetto though, as that win kickstarted an incredible run of form which also saw them beat Juventus a week later on their way to winning the title by one point, taking 22 points from their final eight games.
Francesco Totti is the all-time joint-top scorer in this fixture with 11 goals, and he got both in a 2-2 draw for Roma back in 2015, when his 'selfie' celebration in front of Curva Sud after netting the equaliser went viral across the globe.
The most recent meeting between the two was at the start of 2024, when Lazio beat Roma 1-0 in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, and some of the most thrilling recent encounters between Rome's finest have come in the cup.
In a two-legged Coppa semi-final back in 2016-17, Lazio won a pulsating tie 4-3 on aggregate, leading 2-0 from the first leg, but almost being pegged back despite leading 4-1 at one point in the second half of the second leg.
One of the finest moments in Lazio's history came in 2013 though, when a Derby della Capitale Coppa Italia final, played at the Olimpico, saw Senad Lulic net the only goal for the Biancocelesti to win the trophy at the expense of their bitter rivals.
