- SS Lazio have won 5 consecutive matches, including a 6-2 win at Sassuolo and a 2-1 win at home to Cagliari.
- Napoli are winless in their last 2 matches, having lost 2-0 at Juventus and 4-1 to Porto.
- In their 5 most recent Serie A head-to-heads, Napoli have won once, Lazio have won 3 and 1 game ended all square.
Biancocelesti’s bite is better than Napoli’s
The game between Napoli and SS Lazio on Sunday has the potential to be a cracking fixture at Diego Armando Maradona with the Biancocelesti looking irresistible and the Partenopei still a touch off the boil. Gennaro Gattuso has got his team to play the game he likes, which is aggressive, fluid football with plenty of pressing and quick transitions when they win the ball back.
Lazio are full of confidence and momentum right now and should be able to get on the front foot and keep the onus on Napoli for much of the 90 minutes. The visitors' players are more than capable of attacking the space behind the wing-backs and, if they can pin the hosts back at all, the Biancocelesti should be the more dangerous of the two teams.
The odds-on favourite to win look good to us at around the 4.0 mark because Lazio have won all 5 of their away games in Serie A 2026/2027 and scored 14 times in those matches. Massimiliano Allegri has Napoli set up in a pragmatic way, and seems to have been slowly shifting them towards a 3-5-1-1 system that allows them to play a compact game and break out with the ball.
Free-scoring Lazio can win in Naples
A game featuring Over 2.5 goals looks likely too with Lazio's players in such fine form, but we are taking Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.7 here because Napoli have conceded 1.25 goals per game at home in Serie A 2026/2027 and their goal scorer is not as prolific as Lazio's. Scott McTominay has scored 5 of Napoli's 11 goals in the last 5 competitive games, but their only real goal scorer is Rasmus Højlund with 2 in 5 Serie A 2026/2027 appearances.
Davide Frattesi leads Lazio's goal-scoring with 3 goals in 5 Serie A 2026/2027 games so far and always seems to be arriving in the right place at the right time. A high-tempo game should suit the visitors and their firepower, so an away win with goals at both ends is our play for Sunday's Serie A clash.
