Napoli
Antonio Conte's side drew 1-1 away against Inter in the last round. Consequently, Napoli failed to win two consecutive matches for the first time this season, following a 0-3 loss to Atalanta. Nevertheless, the team maintained its lead in the standings with 26 points. Notably, the club's defensive performance has been solid, conceding only nine goals, second only to Juventus (7).
- The club has remained unbeaten in 6 of their last 7 home matches in Serie A (5 wins, 1 draw).
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 6 of Napoli's last 8 home league matches.
- No more than two goals were scored in 6 of Napoli's last 8 Serie A games.
Roma
In the last round, the team suffered a 2-3 defeat at home to Bologna. This loss was Roma's fourth in their last five Serie A matches. Furthermore, the club conceded at least three goals for the third time in four previous league games. Roma is currently 12th in the standings with 13 points. Notably, Roma is one of three teams yet to win away in this Serie A season.
Before this round, Claudio Ranieri replaced Ivan Juric as the head coach.
Defender Mario Hermoso, along with forwards Alexis Saelemaekers and Eldor Shomurodov, will miss the game due to injuries.
- The team has not won in their last nine away matches in Serie A (5 draws, 4 losses).
- Both teams scored in 8 of Roma's last 10 away league games.
- Roma has not scored more than one goal in 7 of their last 8 away Serie A matches.
Napoli vs. Roma: Match Prediction
Napoli is not struggling with scoring and has been particularly active in attack during home games. In their last 16 home matches in Serie A, Napoli failed to score only four times, and in nine of those, they scored at least twice. However, in the same number of previous home games, the team kept a clean sheet only four times.
Roma, while not prolific, scores regularly away from home: in their last 15 away Serie A matches, they failed to score only three times. However, their defense is not always reliable, as they kept only four clean sheets in their last 19 away league matches.
Considering that both teams scored in their last three encounters at Napoli's ground, I expect a high-scoring game from both sides this time. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
