Lazio host Parma at the Stadio Olimpico on October 24 in Regular Season - Round 8 of Serie A. Matchday 8 is early enough for the table to still be taking shape, but the contrast between the sides is already clear. Lazio, managed by Gennaro Gattuso, sit second in the league. Parma, under A. Gilardino, are 19th.

The main storyline is form in Serie A. Lazio have won their three league matches in the data provided: 2-0 at Venezia on September 19, 3-1 against Monza on October 11 and 3-0 at Juventus on October 18. That is eight goals scored and one conceded across those games, and the Juventus result was an away win by three goals. Parma's league run points the other way. They lost 3-0 at Inter on October 10 and 3-0 at home to Torino on October 19, conceding six and scoring none across those two matches. Their most recent league win was 2-1 against Genoa on September 20.

The head-to-head record is the secondary factor. Lazio won seven of the last ten meetings in the data, with two draws and one Parma win, which came 3-1 on December 1, 2024. The two most recent meetings were a 1-0 Lazio win on December 13, 2025 and a 1-1 draw on April 4, 2026. Parma have therefore not been easy opponents in recent seasons, even though Lazio hold the overall edge.

Neither side has reported injuries or unavailable players, so both managers should have full squads. Lazio's last lineup used a 4-3-3 and
