Roma-Lazio to be played in the evening for the first time since 2019 | OneFootball

The date and time of the next Derby della Capitale have been announced.

Lega Serie A yesterday made official the dates and times of the advance and postponement matches of the last day of the first half of the season and the first of the second half.

The big news of the 19th matchday is the Roman derby that will be scheduled in the evening, at 20h45 on 5 January.

The last Derby played at 20.45 was actually on January 15, 2021, but behind closed doors due to the coronavirus emergency that was holding the country in check in those days.

So, to find a derby with the public in attendance, we have to go back to March 2, 2019, writes Gazzetta dello Sport, when Simone Inzaghi’s Lazio won 3-0 (Caicedo, Immobile, Cataldi) against Eusebio Di Francesco’s Roma who would be fired a few days later.

The hope is that on 5 January everything will go smoothly: there will certainly be a massive presence of police forces to guard the hottest points of the city.
