Lazio
Marco Baroni's side left no chance for Monza in their last home match, securing a 5-1 victory. This marked their fifth significant win of the current Serie A season, although the Romans have conceded in eight of their last nine league matches. Lazio remains in fourth place in the standings. Notably, Lazio (45 goals) is only behind Inter (58) and Atalanta (54) in terms of goals scored this Serie A season.
- The club has not lost in 15 of their last 17 home Serie A matches (11 wins, 4 draws).

Defenders Elseid Hysaj and Patric Gabarron, as well as midfielder Matias Vecino, will miss the game due to injuries.
Napoli
In their last match, Antonio Conte's team was unable to defeat Udinese at home, resulting in a 1-1 draw. This was Napoli's second consecutive draw, although they had previously won seven games, extending their unbeaten run in the league to nine matches. However, the club has conceded in four consecutive Serie A games for the first time this season. Napoli has amassed 55 points and continues to lead the standings, but their lead over second-placed Inter has shrunk to one point.

Lazio vs. Napoli: Match Prediction
This match features teams that rarely struggle in attack. In their last 18 home league games, Lazio failed to score only against Inter, and in ten of those, they scored at least twice. Meanwhile, Marco Baroni's side has managed only two clean sheets at home this Serie A season and conceded 11 goals in their last five home matches.
Napoli's lead in the current championship is no accident – the team performs confidently both at home and away. In 12 away Serie A matches this season, they left the pitch without scoring only twice, and in four instances, they scored at least three goals. However, Napoli's defense has not always been reliable, with only two clean sheets in their last seven away league games.
I expect an exciting attacking display from both teams, leading to goals from both sides. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
