The Serie A features a clash between two Italian powerhouses this weekend as Napoli lock horns with Lazio at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Lazio are in sixth place in the Serie A standings and have improved after a slow start to the season. The Biancocelesti suffered a 2-0 defeat against Juventus in their previous league game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Napoli, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been exceptional this year. The hosts slumped to a 3-2 defeat against Inter Milan last weekend and have a point to prove in this match.
Napoli vs Lazio Head-to-Head
Napoli have an excellent record against Lazio and have won 17 out of 34 matches played between the two teams. Lazio have managed nine victories against Napoli and will need to cut the deficit on Sunday.
The previous game between the two Serie A outfits took place in April this year and ended in a 5-2 victory for Napoli. Lazio were thoroughly outplayed on the day and cannot afford a similar debacle this weekend.
