Roma will face Lazio in the Rome derby on Sunday.
“The derby is always a special game, especially here in Rome,” Vucinic told Il Tempo.
“I would love to score, but it won’t be easy against this in-form Lazio outfit.
“Even though they are playing well, we know that we are stronger than them and we want to show that on Sunday.
“I think we can secure second place in Serie A this season and beating Lazio can signal the turning point – we are aiming for Champions League qualification at least.”
Roma won 3-2 in their similar meeting last season.
