Quotes
 
“It was not our best performance, but we take this point against a quality opponent," Lazio manager Igor Tudor said after his side's draw with Monza.
 
"We could've done more, both when defending and attacking. Monza moved the ball around well, we were too deep on their crosses. It's difficult to analyse, but it certainly wasn't one of our better games. 
 
"Monza did better than us, there were too many players who were below par. Monza are a very good team and we weren't at our best, so every point is important."
 
Head-to-Head 
 
Lazio claimed a 2-0 win over Empoli in their last meeting in the league which was on 22 December 2023 at the Stadio Carlo Castellani – Computer Gross Arena.
 
As a result, the Eagles are undefeated in their last 10 Serie A matches against the Blues having registered eight wins and two draws.
