Although Napoli ran away with the Scudetto last season, Lazio were their closest chasers. The capital club were the best of the chasing pack last term and while they were ultimately well off the pace, finished second on the standings.

The defeat at Lecce highlights also highlights an erratic record on the road for Lazio. They travel to Naples with three defeats in their last five away matches in Serie A stretching back to last season.
