Though blowing hot and cold this season, Napoli are still one of the best sides in the league so far. Placed fifth on the standings, Gli Azzurri have amassed 23 points from 12 games, and are within reach of table-toppers AC Milan.

Gennaro Gattuso will be urging his players to get some balance about their play as they look to string positive results over the coming weeks. Aiming to get one over Lazio this weekend, expect a strong showing from Napoli come kickoff.

Lazio vs Napoli Team News

Far from their utmost best so far, Lazio are struggling to assert their dominance in games. In fact, you could say they are beginning to lose their fear factor as lowly teams come to their ground with every intent of grabbing all three points.

The Stadio Olimpico is gradually losing its prestige, as Lazio continue to deliver shambolic performances here. Having clinched fourth spot on the standings last season, the Eagles will be gunning for another top-four finish this time around.

However, they aren’t on the right path to achieving this feat, having picked up only five wins from their opening twelve matches. Already ten points off the summit, it is fair to say Inzaghi’s men are out of contention for the Scudetto.

Looking to climb up the ladder, Lazio took a trip to the Municipal Stadium Ciro Vigorito to tackle league minnows Benevento in midweek. Against such a troubled side, Le Aquile were deemed overwhelming favorites to bag all three points.

There were shockwaves around the country, however, as Benevento held Inzaghi’s men to a one-all draw. After goal-machine Ciro Immobile had handed Lazio an early lead, Schiattarella brought scores level on the stroke of halftime.

With a tasking game versus this strong Napoli side on the horizon, the Eagles need to be more reassuring to stand a good chance of grabbing a result. Gli Azzurri are off to a decent start in the Serie A this season and have been very impressive at times.

With Insigne receiving his marching orders after a late tackle in the box, Inter Milan’s Lukaku stepped up to condemn Napoli to a narrow 1-0 defeat last time out. Determined to return to winning ways, we should see a better display from the Blues in this contest.

Injured or Suspended Players

Lazio: Senad Lulic, Silvio Proto, Vedat Muriqi, Mohamed Fares, Lucas Leiva, Davide Di Gennaro, Riza Durmisi, Denis Vavro, Sofian Kiyine and Madiu Bari.
Napoli: Victor Osimhen, Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens.

Lazio vs Napoli Predictions

Ordinarily, Napoli boasts a much more formidable squad than Lazio has to offer. However, with Mertens and Insigne ruled out of this game, both sides are well-matched on paper. This should be a closely-fought clash between two strong sides.

The likes of Petagna, Lozano and Politano will surely give Lazio a couple of things to think about in defense. That said, Lazio are beginning to regain their footing after a poor start to the season. Even though there is little to separate the two sides, we have reason to believe Napoli are winning this.
