    Eight clubs are within four points of the lead, making Serie A the most competitive major league in Europe.

    Napoli, which beat Salernitana 3-1 in the Italian Cup on Wednesday, visits Atalanta.

    Lazio, which boasts Serie A's leading attack at 1.9 goals per game, faces city rival Roma, which has only eight points, one above the relegation zone, and desperately needs a win to regain confidence. With 18 goals allowed, Roma has the third worst defense in the league.

    "My compliments to Lazio. They're playing great football, but we don't feel inferior. We're only inferior in the standings," Roma defender Christian Panucci said.

    Roma midfielder David Pizarro is suspended, and Alberto Aquilani is still out injured.

    Mauro Zarate leads Lazio's attack with seven goals, and Tommaso Rocchi has already added three since returning from injury last month.

    Juventus' game with Genoa was moved up to Thursday because Turin's Stadio Olimpico is being used for a rugby game Saturday.
