Past Lazio v Napoli encounters
Saturday's match at the Stadio Olimpico will be the 78th Lazio v Napoli fixture in all competitions.
The club from the capital have won 32 of those meetings (most recently a 3-1 Coppa Italia triumph in 2024/25), with 25 draws (the most recent a 2-2 in the 2024/25 Serie A) and 20 Napoli victories (the last one being a 2-1 win in the 2022/23 Serie A).
However, Lazio have won just two of the last 13 Serie A matches between these two sides at the Olimpico: 1-0 in 2019/20 and 2-0 in 2020/21. Of the other 11 games, Napoli have won eight and there have been two draws.
Pre-match stats

Napoli have scored the most goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half including added time (six), level with Bologna, AC Milan and Atalanta.
This will be the third match-up between Maurizio Sarri and Antonio Conte as coaches. Sarri won both previous meetings while in charge of Juventus, beating Conte's Inter side home and away in the 2019/20 Serie A season.
Maurizio Sarri sat in the Napoli dugout for three years, from 2015/16 to 2017/18, recording 98 wins, 25 draws and 25 defeats in 148 matches.
Matteo Cancellieri and Mattia Zaccagni are Lazio's joint top scorers in the league this year, with three each.
Tijani Noslin's only hat-trick since coming to Italy came against Napoli in the 3-1 Coppa Italia victory in December 2024.
Rasmus Hojlund is Napoli's top marksman in the 2025/26 Serie A, with six goals to his name.
The Azzurri striker notched the joint most Serie A goals in December (four), the same as Nikola Vlasic.
