SSC Napoli - Lazio
Napoli and Lazio clash in Serie A showdown
SSC Napoli and Lazio meet on 8 November 2026 at the Diego Armando Maradona for their matchday 11 encounter. The hosts arrive looking to recover from a difficult week, having suffered a heavy defeat against FC Porto in the Champions League following a league loss to Juventus. Conversely, Lazio enter the contest in high spirits, maintaining a strong run of form that includes a recent victory over Cagliari and a dominant performance against Sassuolo. Both sides are managing significant squad challenges, with Napoli missing key defensive personnel like Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Benoit Badiashile, while Lazio must cope without Mattia Zaccagni and Nuno Tavares.
The expected XI for Napoli features Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hoejlund, while Lazio rely on Tijjani Noslin and Andrea Pinamonti to lead their attack. History leans toward the visitors, who secured a 2-0 win here in April 2026. As these teams collide, the question remains whether Napoli can stabilize their defensive line or if Lazio will continue their impressive momentum.
