As I board my flight to Rome Fiumicino Airport, heading for the Stadio Olympico, the sense of a fierce battle fills the air. Often compared to the colosseum, Lazio’s home ground is set to be the background of a thrilling game tonight as the home side prepare to take on title challengers, Napoli. Despite the gap between the two teams in the league, both arrive at this game with a vastly contrasted set of form. Lazio are unbeaten in their last 6 games whereas Napoli have not won in 4.
One similarity between the two however is a key talisman with world class talent. The Biancoceleste captain, Ciro Immobile has been the most important player at Lazio for many years with his unbelievable goal record, leaving him as one of the most decorated Lazio players. This season he has scored an average of 2.6 goals a game. Contrastingly, Napoli winger Lorenzo Insingne, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season will be hoping he can create some magic and lead his team to victory tonight.
