Rome’s unbeaten duo press Inter as Serie A history shifts

Lazio and Roma have become the first pair of clubs from Rome to remain unbeaten after eleven Italian Serie A matches, and their points haul now puts them ahead of Inter at the overall summit of the league.

According to Corriere dello Sport, not even Milan nor Inter have ever achieved this feat. Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio sit on 29 points, Cristian Chivu’s champions on 28, while Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma occupy third place with 27. The story was filed from Rome, Italy.

Rodrigo Mora celebrated his third goal for AS Roma alongside teammate Mario Hermoso during the Serie A clash with US Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, ITALY on 7 November 2026. Lazio’s points total is the best in the club’s history at this stage, surpassing the 28 points recorded under Simone Inzaghi in 2017‑18. The only other occasion the club were unbeaten after eleven games dates back to the 1972‑73 season under Tommaso Maestrelli, the year before their first Scudetto.

Lazio also boast the league’s strongest defence, having conceded only nine goals. Roma, meanwhile, lead the division in attack with 31 goals, becoming only the fourth side in sixty‑five years to exceed thirty at this point. They have already recorded fourteen different scorers and hold a league‑high six clean sheets.
