Serie A, Week 5: Napoli - Lazio Should Be Required Watching

Zarate will be lucky if he sees any action at all. Hauled off for an early bath on Sunday, Petkovic rounded on the striker for not making the desired effort. Given the whistling coming from the Curva Nord, most Lazio Ultras agreed. The one time flavour of the month in Rome could well be approaching his sell by date.

Neither side could muster a goal in last season’s corresponding fixture. Should the Neapolitans fail to register for a second consecutive game, and if Lazio can take advantage, then the Eagles really can be looked at as Scudetto contenders.
