Napoli Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

After ending the previous campaign in a miserable 10th place, Napoli bounced back in style under the guidance of Antonio Conte who swiftly managed to steer the team in the right direction. The Partenopei have been leading the Serie A charts over the past few weeks, despite suffering an agonizing 0-3 defeat at the hands of Atalanta a few weeks back.

The Southerners earned slim wins over Roma and Torino in their previous two league outings, before falling short at the hands of Lazio in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, with Conte opting for a completely rotated lineup. The Italian manager didn’t appear too troubled by the result, as his selections prove that Napoli have prioritized winning the Scudetto over any other commitment, so Marco Baroni is well aware that the league contest will be a much tougher test for Lazio.

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Thursday’s Coppa Italia victory served as a timely boost for the Biancocelesti who endured a tough week after settling for a draw against Ludogorets before succumbing to defeat at the hands of Parma in Serie A, thus ending their golden run. Nevertheless, both contests were marred by controversial incidents, so Lazio would argue they never truly lost their early-season glimmer.

In any case, Sunday’s clash should put this statement to the test, as the Aquile will go head-to-head with the league leaders (or at least the club that started the round on top) who will resort to their main stars after being rested in midweek. Nevertheless, Lazio will be hoping to return home with the points and close in on the Top Four spots.
