The Roman club were flat and unmotivated despite having a man advantage for over half an hour, with only Pepe Reina and Francesco Acerbi trying to fire up the team.
Lotito is now hoping for a strong performance against Gian Piero Gasperini’s side in their league meeting on Sunday.
The Bergamo-based club sit two points ahead of Lazio in the league table and a win would put the Roman side in a better position to compete for a top-four finish.
