Roma and Lazio have both won their opening three Serie A matches of the season, marking the first time in the history of the Italian championship that the two clubs have begun a campaign with identical records of three victories.
The result leaves both sides firmly established in the top three places of the Serie A table after the opening rounds, with each club making an unbeaten start based entirely on wins.
Roma have made the more emphatic impression so far. They have won all three of their matches and have done so by convincing margins, underlining the strength of their early performances and placing them among the leading teams in the division.
Lazio have also collected the maximum possible points from their opening fixtures, although their victories have been less substantial than those recorded by Roma. Nevertheless, the club managed by Gennaro Gattuso has matched its local rivals’ perfect start and remains in the leading group.
The shared achievement has created a notable early-season landmark for the two Rome clubs. Although Roma and Lazio have both previously enjoyed strong starts to campaigns, this is the first time in Serie A history that they have simultaneously won each of their first three league matches.
Roma will be looking to extend that record in the fourth round when they travel to face Torino. Lazio, meanwhile, will play at home against Milan, with the opportunity to maintain its perfect start to the season.
The two fixtures will provide the next test of a beginning that has placed both clubs among Serie A’s leading sides. Roma will aim to continue its particularly impressive run of high-scoring victories, while Lazio will seek another win under Gattuso and a fourth successive success in the championship.
With both teams occupying places in the top three, the opening rounds have offered an unusually positive picture for the clubs from the Italian capital. Their simultaneous run of three victories has not only kept them close to the top of the table but also produced a record that had never previously been achieved in Serie A.
