Napoli Faces Lazio with History Stacked Against Them, Conte Seeks First Victory Over Sarri
Rome, Italy – Napoli travels to the Stadio Olimpico today to face Lazio, but the match carries more weight than just three points. History isn’t on the side of the Azzurri as they look to break a three-year winless streak against Lazio. Furthermore, Napoli has struggled in early kickoffs, managing only three victories in their last seven games played at 12:30 PM.
Adding another layer of intrigue to the contest is the personal rivalry between Napoli coach Antonio Conte and Lazio’s Maurizio Sarri. Conte is still seeking his first-ever victory against Sarri, having lost both of their previous encounters. This match represents a chance for Conte to break that personal hoodoo and for Napoli to overcome their recent struggles against Lazio and in early games.
“Conte and Sarri are once again facing each other as opponents, after encounters and rivalries of the past,” reports Corriere della Sera. “At the Olimpico today, is another opportunity to rewrite history.”
Napoli will need to overcome these historical challenges if they hope to secure a valuable victory against Sarri’s Lazio.
