Lazio moved on to 29 points, staying top of the table and keeping their unbeaten record intact, though they dropped two points after six straight wins. Inter, on 25 points with a game in hand, can cut the gap to a single point if they beat Como today.
Lazio's stumble aside, the round delivered a historic achievement for the two giants of the Italian capital. Opta revealed that, for the first time in the history of the Italian league, two teams from the same city, Roma and Lazio, have stayed unbeaten through the first 11 matches of a single season.
Both capital clubs are enjoying an exceptional start to the 2026-2027 season under Gattuso and Gasperini.
