Quotes
 
"We lacked speed when turning the ball around and Lazio closed behind. But we needed to have greater clarity in the scoring phase because we had a lot of opportunities to score," Napoli star Matteo Politano said after their clash against Lazio.
 
"Unfortunately we conceded a goal on their first chance and then in the second half we missed too many passes. There's a lot of work to be done, this isn't the real Napoli "
 
"After the break, we will be able to recover all our energy and show our real value also because we will have many appointments "
 
Head-to-Head 
 
Napoli thrashed Genoa 3-0 in their last meeting in the league which was on 15 May 2022 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
 
As a result, the Little Donkeys are undefeated in their last two matches in the Serie A against the Old Fool, having recorded two successive victories.
