There isn’t any reason to think of another result than a home win here.

Napoli is undoubtedly one of the best teams in Europe this season. In Italy they are flying, sitting at the top of the league and 18 points above rivals, with the best attack (58 goals) and best defense (15 goals) in 24 games played so far. At home are also the best team with a balance of 10/1/0, 31 goals scored and just 8 conceded. The draw came at the beginning of the season (august) against Lecce. Since that game, they have won all their home games.

The defeat (away against Inter Milan) came in January. Since then, 8 straight wins against all kinds of rivals: defensives, offensives, strong, weak ones… and conceding just two goals: one by Juventus (5:1) and other by Roma (2:1).

They have an amazing team, playing perfectly. Luciano Spalletti has built a very strong and competitive squad, looking unstoppable this season. They are very close to reach their first league title in over 30 years, but it’s important to keep the difference with rivals (and why not, win the title with some rounds of advantage) in order to be fully focused in the Champions League, where they are very close to reach the 1/4 finals (won 0:2 in the first leg against Frankfurt for the 1/8 finals).

Napoli as a unit have been incredible this season but the one man shining brighter than the rest right now is Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian is Serie A’s top scorer this season with 19 goals (six more than closest rival Lautaro Martinez). He is also on a fantastic run right now, scoring in each of the last eight Serie A matches, directly to the hunt for the Capocannoniere title so often held by Ciro Inmobile.

A red card for Mario Rui in last weekend’s win over Empoli means Luciano Spalletti will be forced into a change at full-back, with Mathias Olivera stepping in and replacing him perfectly.

On the other hand, Lazio had gone through a mini rough patch last month which saw them lose any signs of comfort in the Champions League battle, with two draws and a defeat – losing to Atalanta. However, they have bounced back in recent weeks, beating Salernitana and Sampdoria, the latter allowing them to leapfrog Roma. In those games where dropped points (Fiorentina, Atalanta, Verona) the team displayed vulnerabilities.

Anyway, Maurizio Sarri’s side have undoubtedly made progress this season, with a packed fixture list hardly benefitting a squad that is lacking in depth. Just 4 days before this match they will play an important fixture - Conference League 1/8 finals against AZ, while Napoli has their next midweek game (UCL) on March 15th, so their minds will be more focused in this match, while Lazio could be thinking a bit in the Conference League game.

Maurizio Sarri has no new absences to deal with, only Alessio Romagnoli and Stefan Radu are out with long term injuries.

Recent encounters between the two sides very much tip the scale in the host’s favour, with Napoli winning all of the last four meetings. The Partenopei have shown remarkable consistency against Lazio, winning 2-1 in both of their last two games, and there is a good chance of yet another repeat performance on Saturday. In the previous game played in September in the Stadio Olimpico, Napoli outplayed Lazio, achieving 61% possession, the double of shots (8 against 16) and 5 more shots on target (2 against 7).

Seeing the current level of Napoli, it’s impossible to think of another result than a home win here. Everything goes in his favour, including the rival. In football motivation and confidence is very important and right now Napoli has the maximum confidence possible due to their amazing results and performances this season so far. They are very close to winning the title and surely will be looking to assure it as soon as possible.

除了主场取胜，我们没有任何理由去考虑其他结果。

那不勒斯无疑是本赛季欧洲最好的球队之一。在意大利，他们如日中天，排在联赛榜首，比对手高出18分，在迄今为止的24场比赛中，他们拥有最好的进攻(58球)和最好的防守(15球)。在主场也是最好的球队，10/1/0，进31球，丢8球。平局是在赛季初(8月)对阵莱切。自从那场比赛以来，他们赢了所有的主场比赛。

这场失利(客场对阵国际米兰)发生在一月份。从那以后，他们连续8次战胜各种对手:防守、进攻、强弱对手……只丢了两个球:一个是尤文图斯(5:1)，另一个是罗马(2:1)。

他们有一支了不起的球队，踢得很完美。斯帕莱蒂建立了一支非常强大和有竞争力的球队，这个赛季看起来势不可挡。他们非常接近获得30多年来的第一个联赛冠军，但重要的是保持与对手的差距(为什么不呢，以几轮优势赢得冠军)，以便完全专注于欧冠，他们非常接近进入1/4决赛(在1/8决赛首回合与法兰克福的比赛中以0:2获胜)。

那不勒斯作为一个整体在这个赛季表现得不可思议，但是现在有一个人比其他人更闪亮，那就是维克多·奥西蒙。尼日利亚人本赛季以19粒进球成为意甲射手王(比最接近的对手劳塔罗·马丁内斯多6粒)。他现在的状态也很不错，在最近的8场意甲比赛中都有进球，直接向西罗·因莫比尔经常保持的卡波卡尼埃冠军发起了挑战。

在上周末战胜恩波利的比赛中，马里奥·鲁伊吃到红牌，这意味着斯帕莱蒂将被迫在边后卫位置上做出改变，马蒂亚斯·奥利维拉将顶替他的位置。

另一方面，拉齐奥在上个月经历了一段艰难的时期，他们在欧冠联赛中失去了任何舒适的迹象，两平一负——输给了亚特兰大。然而，他们在最近几周反弹，击败了萨勒尼塔纳和桑普多利亚，后者让他们超越了罗马。在那些丢分的比赛中(佛罗伦萨，亚特兰大，维罗纳)球队表现出了弱点。

无论如何，毛里齐奥·萨里的球队本赛季无疑取得了进步，密集的赛程对缺乏深度的球队几乎没有好处。就在本场比赛的4天前，他们将有一场重要的比赛——联盟联赛1/8决赛对阵阿斯利州，而那不勒斯将在3月15日进行他们的下一场周中比赛，所以他们的注意力将更集中在这场比赛上，而拉齐奥可能会在联盟联赛中考虑一些事情。

毛里齐奥·萨里没有新的缺阵需要处理，只有阿莱西奥·罗马诺里和斯特凡·拉杜因长期伤病缺阵。

最近两队的交锋非常有利于东道主，那不勒斯在最近四次交锋中全部获胜。帕特诺佩队在对阵拉齐奥的比赛中表现出了惊人的稳定性，在最近的两场比赛中都以2-1取胜，他们很有可能在周六再次上演同样的表现。在9月在奥林匹克球场进行的上一场比赛中，那不勒斯击败了拉齐奥，取得了61%的控球率，两次射门(8对16)和5次射正(2对7)。

看看那不勒斯现在的水平，除了主场取胜，想不出还有什么结果了。一切都对他有利，包括对手。在足球运动中，动力和信心是非常重要的，现在那不勒斯拥有最大的信心，因为他们本赛季到目前为止的惊人成绩和表现。他们非常接近冠军，当然也会尽快确保夺冠。
