After two disappointing results against Ludogorets and Parma, many feared Lazio had lost their early-season momentum, envisioning a steep decline in form. On the contrary, Marco Baroni’s men responded by beating Napoli twice in the space of 72 hours, and followed it up with a sensational victory in Amsterdam over Ajax to consolidate themselves as the absolute best team in the Europa League this season.
In Serie A, the Italian capital side managed to put some daylight between themselves and 6th-placed Juventus. While they remain in 5th place, they are on par on points with Inter (3rd) and Fiorentina (4th) – although these two have a postponed match in hand – and only two points behind league leaders Atalanta.
Inter’s recent momentum has been interrupted by a Champions League defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, but they remain among the favorites to finish in the Top 8 spots. As for the domestic league, they won four and drew one in their last five outings.
While the standings show them in third place, They could have been first had they prevailed in their contest against Fiorentina which was delayed due to Edoardo Bove’s horrific fall. So although it hasn’t been smooth sailing for Simone Inzaghi’s men like last season, they’re beginning to show why they were deemed THE team to beat before a ball was kicked this term.
