The Lazio center back has been reliable and tidy. He completed 90.7% of his 1,736 passes, including 128 accurate long balls at 67.4%. Out of possession he recorded 106 clearances, 44 tackles with a 68.2% success rate, and 23 interceptions.
Gila won 67.6% of all duels, including 66.3% in the air and 68.6% on the ground. He helped keep seven clean sheets and conceded zero errors leading to goals. Discipline-wise he took three yellows and one direct red.
Wesley’s impact for Roma
Wesley brought end product from wide areas. He scored five goals, all right-footed from inside the box, and hit 12 shots on target from 24 attempts for a 20.8% conversion rate. He created nine big chances and made 33 key passes, with expected assists at 3.72 despite no assists recorded.
His crossing volume was high, completing 20 of 95 crosses. Defensively he chipped in with 53 tackles, 23 interceptions and 61 clearances, and was part of 10 clean sheets. There was risk in his game too, with 418 possessions lost and 25 times dispossessed, which often comes with aggressive carrying and chance creation.
Passing and build-up profiles
Gila’s passing map leans secure but progressive. He posted 1,575 accurate passes with 514 completed in the opposition half and 131 into the final third. His 97 chipped passes included 54 accurate, showing comfort breaking lines from deep.
Wesley handled more advanced distribution. He delivered 545 accurate passes in the opposition half and 317 in the final third, reflecting Roma’s use of him high up the pitch. Overall accuracy sat at 80.0%, typical for a player attempting riskier passes and crosses in attacking zones.
Duels, discipline and the small details
Gila’s duel game was efficient and controlled, winning 127 total and being dribbled past only 10 times. He also blocked 16 shots and drew 23 fouls, with just 17 conceded. Notably, he hit the woodwork twice despite not scoring, and made two errors that led to shots but none to goals.
Wesley’s high-intensity role meant more frequent contests. He won 147 total duels but at 47.6%, with 30 times dribbled past. He drew 55 fouls and conceded 34, and his single red card came via a second yellow. He also won one penalty for Roma.
What it hints for Roma vs Lazio
If trends carry into the Derby della Capitale, expect Gila to steer Lazio’s buildup with accurate long passing and strong aerial work. Wesley gives Roma thrust from the right and advanced areas, with shooting threat inside the box and a steady stream of key passes.
