- SS Lazio are top of Serie A 2026/2027 with 28 points from 10 games, while Napoli are eighth on 14 points
- SS Lazio have won all five of their away games in Serie A 2026/2027, scoring 14 goals
- The Biancocelesti have won three of the last five meetings between the clubs in Serie A (one win for Napoli and one draw)
SS Lazio set to make the most of their momentum
SS Lazio are the team in form and will probably make the most of their momentum when they take on a Napoli side that have suffered successive defeats. The Biancocelesti have won their last five matches, thumping Sassuolo 6-2 in their last away game before beating Cagliari 2-1 at home, while the Partenopei fell 2-0 to Juventus in Serie A and 4-1 to Porto in the Champions League in their previous two games.
The clash of styles may favour the visitors as they seek to continue. Napoli are set up to be much more cautious and controlled under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri, who has altered his formation to a 3-5-1-1 to ensure his players are compact and can control the game.
Gennaro Gattuso has SS Lazio playing in an opposite fashion as they press high, move the ball quickly and switch it from wide to wide in the 4-3-3 formation they utilise. The style of play appears to be suiting them and they are winning games with ease.
Napoli have not turned Maradona into a fortress
Napoli have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four home games in Serie A 2026/2027, so the Maradona has not been a fortress in the first quarter of the season. They will be looking to break the run of two straight losses against Lazio in Serie A, but with the visitors looking the real deal right now, it may be hard for them to do so.
Lazio have won both of their Serie A visits to Naples in 2026/2027 and 2025/2026 and, if they can pin Napoli back and exploit the space behind their wing-backs, they should get enough chances to win this. The recommended bets are for an away win and both teams to score with Over 2.5 goals also taken as we expect a high-tempo contest that should suit Lazio and their firepower.
Both teams can find the net at Diego Armando Maradona
Both clubs have players with the ability to unlock a tight contest and score goals, but our belief is predicated on Lazio's ability to do damage on the counter-attack or in transition. Scott McTominay has been on fire for Napoli, with five of their 11 Serie A goals in 2026/2027 coming from his boots in their last five games. Rasmus Højlund has been their biggest goal threat, with two goals in five Serie A appearances.
