Napoli retain their lead over Lazio
📊 Napoli and Lazio have met 43 times in recent years, with Napoli holding the edge in this head-to-head record. The hosts have 21 wins, while the Rome side have won 13 times, and another 9 matches ended in draws. Last season, the teams each won away from home by the same 2-0 scoreline.
Head-to-head statistics Napoli - Lazio
Napoli struggle on all fronts
Napoli under Massimiliano Allegri continue to raise far too many questions. The team cannot find their rhythm, regularly drop points and are falling well short of their supporters’ expectations. After ten rounds, the Italian runners-up sit just 14th in the table with 14 points. They are already 14 points behind leaders Lazio. In the previous round, Napoli disappointed again, losing 2-0 away to Juventus, who are themselves far from their best form. The visitors offered the Turin side almost nothing in terms of their play.
The midweek Champions League match against Porto left an even worse impression. Napoli suffered a painful 4-1 away defeat, although for a long time there was little sign of such a heavy loss. The score remained 1-1 until the 71st minute, after which Napoli fell apart, allowing their opponents to score three times in the remaining minutes. Unreliable defending was once again the main reason for the collapse: the Partenopei allowed Porto to create chances worth 2.73 xG.

Lazio move clear at the top
Lazio’s situation is quite the opposite. The Rome side have been excellent this season and head into the upcoming match on a run of six consecutive wins. What is more, in ten rounds, the Eagles have slipped up only once, drawing 2-2 with Milan back in mid-September. They have taken all three points in every other match. Last weekend, Lazio took advantage of Inter’s slip-up and moved to the top of the Serie A table on their own for the first time this season, with 28 points.
In the previous round, Lazio beat Cagliari 2-1 at home, although the match began badly for the Rome side. The Eagles allowed their opponents to open the scoring in the 20th minute and found themselves behind. However, the hosts kept their composure and gradually took the initiative, creating dangerous chances in front of the opposition goal with increasing frequency. Their better play and superior individual quality eventually allowed Lazio to turn the match around and come from behind to win. Another three points were a deserved reward for their persistence and confirmed the seriousness of the Rome side’s title ambitions.

Latest news
Napoli
❌ Napoli are facing a major injury crisis ahead of the match. Benoît Badiashile, Alessandro Buongiorno, Alisson Santos, Costantino Favasuli and Stanislav Lobotka remain sidelined. Giovanni Di Lorenzo, David Neres, Mathías Olivera and Leonardo Spinazzola are also doubtful. Luca Marianucci will miss the match through suspension after receiving a red card against Juventus.
Lazio
❌ Lazio have considerably fewer injury concerns. Albert Guðmundsson and Mattia Zaccagni remain sidelined with injuries, while Alessio Furlanetto is also unavailable. Adam Marušić and Nicolò Rovella are doubtful.
Total Goals Prediction
Head-to-head meetings between Napoli and Lazio are rarely high-scoring. Fewer than four goals have been scored in 8 of the teams’ last 9 Serie A meetings. A similar trend can be seen in Lazio’s away matches: that mark has not been exceeded in 13 of their previous 14 such games. Given the importance of the upcoming match, the teams are unlikely to take unnecessary risks. Our bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.46*.
Corners Prediction
Napoli are not inclined to force corners at home: they have taken no more than six corners in 6 of their last 7 home matches. In Serie A this season, Napoli have averaged 5.3 corners per game, only slightly below that mark. Lazio usually defend well and do not allow opponents to sustain pressure, so a sharp increase should not be expected. We back Napoli Team Total Corners - Under 6.5 at odds of 1.43*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Napoli's matches this season have rarely featured many bookings: fewer than four yellow cards were shown in 9 of their last 10 Serie A matches. Both head-to-head meetings with Lazio last season, however, ended with four bookings each (excluding sendings-off). The statistics suggest that the upcoming match could also be played without excessive foul play. Our pick is Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5 at odds of 1.60*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Pick
According to the bookmakers, Napoli are slight favourites for the upcoming match, but we disagree with that assessment. Napoli have been far from convincing this season and continue to have serious problems in defence. Lazio, by contrast, are in peak form and have taken sole possession of top spot in the table for the first time. The Rome side clearly have no intention of surrendering their lead straight away, and their opponents’ current form gives them reason to expect a positive result even away from home. Our main bet is therefore Lazio to avoid defeat. Predicted score: 1:2.
