Lazio and Roma make Serie A history as unbeaten Rome duo chase Inter Lazio and Roma have made history as the first two teams from the same city to be unbeaten in Serie A after 11 games, and they are now challenging Inter at the top. According to Corriere dello Sport , not even Milan and Inter have ever managed it. Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio lead on 29 points, Cristian Chivu’s champions are second on 28, and Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma are third on 27.

The only other time they were unbeaten after 11 games was in 1972-73 under Tommaso Maestrelli, the season before their first Scudetto. They also have the best defence in the league, with only nine goals conceded. Roma have the division’s best attack with 31 goals, and they are only the fourth team in 65 years to pass 30 at this stage. They have already had 14 different scorers and have kept a league-high six clean sheets.

Gasperini, however, says he “wouldn’t sign for second place”, while Gattuso is still talking about reaching 40 points first. The two sides meet in the Derby della Capitale on 13 December.
