could also see Roma reach the top of Serie A.
Roma head coach Rudi Garcia is targeting double joy with a
derby victory over Lazio and first place in Serie A in his sights
on Sunday.
Roma are one point adrift of joint leaders Fiorentina and Inter in
the table and both of the top two sides face away games
against Sampdoria and Torino.
Garcia's men are unbeaten in their last four derbies and won
2-1 in the last meeting in May, a crucial result in their second-
place finish.
"The players are motivated, they know the derby is a special
match," said Garcia.
"We want to win the match on Sunday, win the derby and
recapture first place.
"I want Roma to be at 200 per cent in terms of our play and our
motivation.
"We proved that we know how to start strong and make the
difference straight away. We take less time to get into a game. It
is better to start well, although of course games last 95 minutes
and you need to be on point throughout.
"We are doing well. This will be the seventh match of an
important cycle [since the last international break].
"Last time it was the penultimate game of the season and there
was a different context, but we want to win because we are on
home turf and we will progress in the table with a good result."
