The Derby della Capitale, known in English as the Rome Derby, is always good for providing dramatics, and for the first time in history Lazio will take on rival and stadium roommate Roma within the first two weeks of the new Serie A campaign.
Matchday 2 is the earliest these teams have ever clashed and on Sunday they'll renew hostilities with a lot of unanswered questions for the fledgling 2019-20 season.
Both teams picked up points on opening weekend, with Lazio drubbing Sampdoria 3-0 while Roma had to settle for a 3-3 draw with visiting Genoa.

It's been an even rivalry in recent years, with Lazio having taken the most recent Rome Derby. Should the Biancocelesti also win Sunday's contest, it'll be the first time since 2012 they've defeated their rivals in Serie A action. Additionally, Lazio has kept Roma off the scoreboard the last two times it was the home team at Stadio Olimpico, and according to Opta the Biancocelesti haven't gone three home games in a row without allowing a Roma goal in 21 years.
If Lazio is going to maintain recent success in the Rome Derby, Ciro Immobile will likely have something to do with it. The Italian attacker has scored three of Lazio's last five goals against Roma in Serie A, with two of those coming from the penalty spot.
On the flip side, Edin Dzeko will be the one driving the offence for Roma, as he has two goals and four assists in his last seven league appearances for the Giallorossi.
