- Lazio have 13 points from five games in Serie A 2026/2027, placing them third in the table, whereas Monza are 16th with four points from their first five.
- Lazio are unbeaten in two home games in Serie A 2026/2027, with one win and one draw, whereas Monza are yet to win on the road in 2026/2027 (1 draw, 2 defeats).
Gattuso’s Lazio look ready to rumble
SS Lazio are firm favourites for Sunday's Serie A 2026/2027 clash with SSD Monza 1912 at Stadio Olimpico, and it's easy to see why when you compare the two sides on paper. Gennaro Gattuso has given the Biancocelesti a more physical, direct and compact edge to their game since taking charge in June 2026 and it shows in their results.
Lazio are 3rd in the Serie A 2026/2027 table with 13 points from their opening five games, whereas Monza are 16th with only four points in the same number of matches.
But, the home side's odds of 1.54 for the win is far too short considering the visitors are available at 6.0 and the draw at 3.9. There is enough of an argument for the draw, or a Monza win, to be in play.
Back-the-both teams to score market
SS Lazio and SSD Monza 1912 can both find the net at least once on Sunday and I am tipping the Both Teams to Score bet to be a good alternative to the match result markets at 1.93.
Lazio have conceded just twice in their two home league games in Serie A 2026/2027 and are obviously the more likely team to take the game by the scruff of the neck, but I think Monza can nick one away from home.
The Biancorossi have scored four times in their three away games in Serie A 2026/2027 and have red-hot striker Gustavo Varela to thank for four goals in as many games in the top flight this season.
A 2-1 home victory is my correct score prediction.
An end-to-end match in store
Lazio have been unbeaten at home with one win and one draw in two matches, so there will be no shortage of goals in Rome on Sunday.
Lazio are undefeated at home in Serie A 2026/2027 with 1 win and 1 draw from their 2 matches.
Monza have 1 draw and 2 losses from their 3 away matches in 2026/2027, and their most recent games tell a similar story.
Their most recent games include a 3-2 away loss to Lecce, a 2-1 home win over Sassuolo and a 2-2 away draw with Stade Brestois 29 in a friendly.
This will be an end-to-end game of transitions, I think, with Lazio's 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 shape looking to control the space and break with numbers, while Ivan Juric's high-intensity 3-at-the-back system will look to press the ball high up the pitch and overload the wide channels.
Davide Frattesi leads the way as Lazio's top Serie A scorer so far with three goals in five, but Tijjani Noslin has notched three of his club's last ten goals, with all three of those coming in the last five.
I'm tipping both sides to contribute to the scoreboard on Sunday in what should be an entertaining match.
