The match has started and Napoli immediately showed their dominance by attacking and putting pressure on Lazio at the start of the match. while Lazio continues to show a fairly solid defense.

and indeed this is quite an important match for Napoli, because the results of this match will determine whether Napoli is really able to maintain its position as the leader of the standings. and whether in the next match Napoli will be able to avenge their defeat yesterday in the last 16 of the Italian Cup. where in that meeting Napoli lost 3-1 to Lazio.

I am quite curious about how the match will end, will this be a victory for Napoli or a second defeat to Lazio. This is quite an exciting match to watch and I will enjoy it until the referee blows the long whistle to signal the end of the match.

It is already the second half of the match but there is still no goal yet. It seems both teams trying to play very careful, they are not playing very offensive. If we take a loot their stats, each team only can make 1-2 shot on target so far. If they don't want to play more aggressive, the match probably ends up with a draw. However, Napoli dominated the match, they make more shot attempts.

Yep, it is a very important match for Napoli. Now, Atalanta is leading in the top of Serie A table. Napoli should get 3 points if they want to return to the 1st place. If they only can get a draw (1 point), Napoli will remain in the 2nd place. It is because Atalanta has more goals, Atalanta often won the matches with many goals. Meanwhile Napoli usually won the match with 1-2 goals only.

By the way, if there is no change with their tactics, I think this match will end up with a draw.

Napoli has fallen off from the first position as they could no longer keep to their consistency. Isaksen goal on the 79th minutes swept Napoli off their feet as they couldn't equalize the goal till the match ended, because Lazio defended the goal till the end to enable them walk away with three points from Diego Maradona Stadium. The farther till league gets, the tougher it becomes and only the strong will survive.
