SS Lazio
- SS Lazio are on a roll at the top of Serie A 2026/2027 with 28 points from ten games.
- The Biancocelesti have won their last five games, starting with a 6-2 away win over Sassuolo before following that up with a 2-1 home win over Cagliari.
- Lazio have won all five of their away games this term, scoring 14 goals in the process and Gennaro Gattuso appears to have turned them into a front-foot attacking team that plays fluidly.
- Gennaro Gattuso has the Biancocelesti playing a highly aggressive brand of soccer, pressing opponents high up the field and switching up their 4-3-3 to play vertical passes through the center of the field.
Napoli
- Napoli are a modest eighth after picking up 14 points from the same number of matches.
- In contrast, Napoli have been playing a more measured brand of the game in Serie A 2026/2027 with Massimiliano Allegri setting them up in a pragmatic 3-5-1-1 that is compact and controlled.
- Napoli are on a two-match losing run after defeats to Juventus (2-0) and Porto (4-1).
- Napoli have won twice, drawn once and lost once at home in Serie A 2026/2027, so they haven't quite turned the Diego Armando Maradona into a fortress this term.
Head-to-Head
- SS Lazio have won three of the last five head-to-head Serie A meetings, with Napoli winning one and the other a draw.
- Lazio beat them 2-0 in the away game in Serie A 2025/2026 and are unbeaten in two league visits to Naples.
Key Players
- Scott McTominay has been their hot hand lately with five of their 11 goals in the last five coming from his boot.
- Gennaro Gattuso's influence is clear as he has the Biancocelesti playing a highly aggressive brand of soccer, pressing opponents high up the field and switching up their 4-3-3.
