Former former Lazio manager Delio Rossi says the club has a squad capable of finishing 6th–8th, with Inter and Roma better equipped for the title race.

Speaking on Sport Paper TV, ex-former Lazio manager Delio Rossi analysed Serie A's opening 11 matches, with Lazio leading ahead of Inter and Roma. While praising Lazio's consistency and calling them the season's surprise package, Rossi assessed their squad depth as 6th–8th place material compared to Inter and Roma's stronger rosters, though he noted that titles are decided in March and April.
