Napoli vs Lazio | Where to Watch, Insights, Lineups & Prediction

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Lazio enjoyed their first purple patch of the season last month, beating Sassuolo, Milan, and Bologna on the trot. However, their form dropped following the international break. After settling for a 1-1 draw against Parma at home, they were beaten in Florence on Monday, albeit amid controversial circumstances.

This defeat leaves them 9th in the table, four points behind Bologna. Nevertheless, the Aquile’s main objective of the season remains winning the Coppa Italia. Therefore, Maurizio Sarri’s men could be distracted by Wednesday’s second-leg clash in their semi-final tie against Atalanta.

Final Score Prediction: Napoli 3-1 Lazio

At this stage of the Serie A campaign, Napoli have much more to play for than Lazio, even though Conte’s team looked a bit too casual last weekend in Parma. With Lazio having one eye on their upcoming Coppa Italia clash in Bergamo, we can expect the Partenopei to be the sharper and more determined side, especially when fueled by the enthusiastic Maradona crowd.
