It's March Madness, and it looks as though the Cinderella stories aren't exclusive to the NCAA Tournament this year. The Champions League quarterfinal draw ...

And now that team goes on the road to face a Brentford team that's struggled a bit lately but has been much stronger at home than on the road. They've been outscored 10-2 in the span, and they're the only Premier League team not to manage a point in that time. The biggest factor in the decision was the team didn't have the money to solve their issues. Roma may not be ahead of Lazio in the table, but they've been the better team all season. While I don't hate swinging big on Juventus to win outright, I'd rather play it safer with the double chance. Then there's Roma, which was battered by Sassuolo 4-3 (Sassuolo led the xG battle 3.5-1.5) last weekend before a scoreless draw against Real Sociedad on Thursday put Roma through to the Europa League quarterfinals. There's also a chance that the Premier League could lose both its remaining teams, which, if we're being honest, would be a welcome sight to every other league in Europe. This assures that two of the four "Cinderellas" remaining will reach the semis, while two of the four giants remaining will be sent home. Yes, Sociedad managed 1.8 xG in the match, but they needed 19 shots to get there. Now for the context: Roma looked past Sassuolo because they were concentrating on finishing the job against Real Sociedad. While getting three teams to the quarterfinals was already a boost for Serie A, this draw is also a blessing. It's March Madness, and it looks as though the Cinderella stories aren't exclusive to the NCAA Tournament this year.

The Stadio Olimpico prepares for a highly-anticipated Derby della Capitale on Sunday evening as Lazio and Roma go head-to-head in Serie A.

The Argentine is Roma’s top goalscorer in Serie A so far this term with a total of nine goals and a strong display by Paulo Dybala here would certainly help in their search for victory. The 26-year-old has had an underwhelming campaign thus far and having contributed to just seven goals in Serie A this term, he knows he has to start providing more of an attacking output. It may benefit Lazio in the long run but they are coming off the back of a 2-1 defeat away to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night. to record the win this time around since Lazio have failed to register victories in both derbies in a single season since 2012. The second derby of the season between Lazio and Roma will prove to be pivotal – they are both fighting for a Champions League spot. However, if the ‘visitors’ take home all three points, they can go ahead of Lazio and send out a big statemate in their Champions League bid.
