Quotes
“I'm happy because I saw a team with a capital T. A balanced team, having more ball possession than [Maurizio] Sarri is a lot," Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri said after his side's draw against Lazio.
"Above all, I was happy for guys like Demme, who played a great game. I saw a lot of good things. We could have scored a few more goals, we tried to go vertical but they are faster.
"Without [Victor] Osimhen and Kvara [Khvicha Kvaratskhelia], [Giacomo] Raspadori was alone in attack today. Lazio are very strong, let's not forget that they finished second. We have to improve, but we have found the compactness that wasn't always there when I arrived."
Head-to-Head
Napoli claimed a 3-1 win over Verona in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 21 October 2023 at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
As a result, Little Donkeys are undefeated in their last six matches in the league against the Yellow and Blues having won three games and drawn three.
