&lt;p&gt;Serie A matchday 16 begins at the Olimpico: following their incredible win against Parma, which saw them play with nine men against Parma’s eleven men, Lazio host Cremonese in an effort to secure two wins in a row for the first time this season. Cremonese will be aiming to continue surprising people; having put the defeat to Torino behind them, they are chasing three points that would see them overtake their opponents in the standings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Head-to-heads between the two clubs in Rome total 14: 11 wins for the capital side (the most recent 3-2 in the 2022/23 Serie A), 2 draws (the last 1-1 in the 1989/90 Serie A) and 1 win for the Grigiorossi (most recently 0-1 in the 1981/82 Serie B).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio have won the last 6 meetings in Rome against the Lombards and have scored in 9 in a row, for a total of 21 goals.
