Two consecutive misfires do not prevent Napoli from remaining at the top of the Italian league table. In the last round, the Partenopeans hosted Udinese at Diego Armando Maradonna. The hosts started the match actively, had several good chances and naturally scored first. So, on 37 minutes, Mactominay with a header from Politano put the ball into the net of Sava's goal. However, it took only three minutes for the Zebras to equalise. Despite Conte's attempts to regain the lead, the Friulians' goal was the last one of the game. A round earlier, the Adzurri played at the Olimpico in Rome. The Neapolitans faced Roma and also scored first. Angelino scored three points for Antonio Conte's wards in the 90+2nd minute of the game. It is important to note that before that Napoli had a series of seven victorious meetings. In this stretch, the "partenopei" beat Fiorentina, Atalanta and Juventus.

Lazio wins twice and gets closer to the group of leaders. The Eagles' opponents, however, are quite modest. In the last round Marco Baroni's wards hosted crisis Monza. A confident game against the outsider led to a resounding 5:1 victory. A round earlier, the Biancocelesti played away to Cagliari. It is worth noting that the Romans had problems here. By the beginning of the second half, the rivals exchanged goals, but Castellanos' goal still allowed the Eagles to scratch out a victory. With not the most confident game. Marco Baroni's side had previously lost to Braga (in the Europa League) and Fiorentina.

Interestingly, this season the rivals have already met twice. Both times, the victory was celebrated by the Romans. So, in the cup meeting "Biancocelesti" beat the Neapolitans with a score of 3:1. Three days later, but in the championship, Marco Baroni's wards were content with a minimal away win. However, Antonio Conte clearly correctly assessed the result of the cup meeting, because his team played much better than the Eagles. At the Diego Armando Maradonna, the Partenopeans lacked only luck and performance. Napoli have lost only once in away games this season. Even though the team lost in the last two rounds, they should not be written off. "Adzurri" clearly want to take revenge for the December failures in face-to-face meetings. Conte's side will do everything to get the maximum number of points at the Olimpico.
