Some rivalries are formed out of respect. Others are built on pure hatred. This fiery Italian friction falls into the second category. Matches between Lazio and Roma are intense, no matter where the teams sit on the ladder. Their fans get into it as much as the players as everyone fights for the right to be crowned kings of Rome for the day. This rivalry is one of the oldest in world football, and the battle for regional and national pride could come down to Italian striker Ciro Immobile, who has been in fine form for Lazio this season.
