Lazio and Roma meet at the Stadio Olimpico in the pick of the quarter-final ties in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.
In the season's second Derby della Capitale, there will have to be a winner, after the sides shared the spoils in a drab 0-0 draw back in November.
That comes after a third straight win was secured at the weekend, as Matias Vecino's late strike earned Lazio a 2-1 victory at Udinese.
That saw Lazio pick up where they left off to start 2024, after Maurizio Sarri's side signed off for 2023 with two wins over Empoli and Frosinone.
After spending most of the early stages of the season near the bottom, Lazio's form now finds them just three points shy of the top four.
It was important for the Biancocelesti to continue their fine run given the string of huge encounters they have coming up, starting with the derby, and followed by their Supercoppa semi-final against Inter Milan next week.
