Napoli have made a strong start to their title defence in Serie A, as they have won each of their opening two matches this term. However, they come up against one of their biggest rivals this weekend, as Lazio go in search of a first victory this term.
Napoli will once again be among the clear favorites in the betting to lay down a title challenge in Serie A this term. The reigning champions have made a reliable start to the new season, as they currently sit second in the standings after winning each of their two opening matches this term. However, they will need to be at their first best against Lazio this weekend.
Napoli have scored five goals across their two matches so far this season, and they have conceded just once. However, they sit behind AC Milan in the standings courtesy of goal difference. The team from Naples were very professional on matchday two, as they recorded a first home win of the season against Sassuolo. Victor Osimhen opened the scoring from the penalty spot, before Giovanni Di Lorenzo extended the advantage just after the hour mark.
It has been a worrying start to the new season for Lazio, as they sit in the bottom three places after the opening two rounds of matches. The Italian giants are without a win in the competition so far this term after being beaten in each of their first two matches of the campaign.
Lazio have scored just once in the league across the early weeks, and they have conceded three times. Their most recent defeat was suffered in front of their home fans, as Genoa landed maximum points courtesy of their 16th minute opener. Lazio dominated the possession, enjoying 71% of the ball, but they mustered just two shots on target.
Lazio landed a famous 1-0 win in this exact fixture last season. However, that win ended a four-match winning sequence for Napoli against Lazio. Over that run, they recorded two wins at home, and they have recorded five home wins in their previous six against their rivals.
Something is amiss at Lazio this term, and the pressure will continue to increase this weekend. Napoli look good value on paper to extend their winning record this weekend, and we find it challenging to see any other outcome than a 2-0 victory for the hosts.
