Lazio form and stats

6-2-0 is the performance here at Stadio Olimpico so far in the Serie A, giving Lazio a total of 20 from their 8 games here. Outstanding results! Lazio has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Inter defeat 107 days ago. After failing to beat Atalanta here at Stadio Olimpico, Lazio has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Lazio are returning here after visiting Brescia in a Serie A game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Juventus and winning 3-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lazio perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lazio as a small favourite), we find nine games. Lazio has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lazio, as the Coppa Italia home game vs Cremonese is only three days away.

Lazio are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Stadio Olimpico in their league games, having scored an impressive 24 goals in 8 matches. From these home matches, Lazio have conceded only 7 goals.

Napoli form and stats

3-4-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Napoli in their Serie A matches away.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Inter with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game was the away victory against Sassuolo with the score of 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Napoli playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Napoli win, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

After this away game Napoli return home for a Coppa Italia game against Perugia. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Napoli are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 17 times in 9 away games so far. In the opposite end, Napoli have conceded 14 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Lazio, 1 draw and 7 wins for Napoli. Over 2,5 goals: 7 times; under 2,5 goals: 3 games.
