The Serie A title race still has plenty of road to run and these Napoli vs. Roma predictions will play a role in the Scudetto scrap in the coming weeks. Napoli are still in contention to challenge Milan and Inter in the run-in, while Roma still have an outside shot at the Champions League.
Napoli vs. Roma odds
1 – Napoli to win – 1/1
2 – Over 2.5 total goals – 17/20
3 – Napoli over 1.5 total goals – 6/4
4 – BTTS – Yes – 3/4
5 – Napoli to win 2-1 – 8/1
Napoli simply cannot afford to drop any more points between now and the end of the season as they look to keep up the pressure on their title rivals. Luciano Spalletti’s side have done brilliantly to keep up in an enthralling title race so far, but they still have ground to make up as they chase down the Milanese duo in the final straight.
They head into this tie as favourites on the back of winning four of their last six games in Serie A, but defeats to Milan and Fiorentina have dented their momentum. In contrast, Jose Mourinho’s Roma have won three of their last six games in all competitions, giving Spalletti’s hosts a narrow edge in this one.
The Azzurri have impressed in front of goal in recent weeks, scoring 11 times in that run of six matches, at an average of just under two goals per game. However, five of the six encounters have included a total of over 2.5 goals after 90 minutes, with Napoli themselves scoring over 1.5 goals in each of those games.
Roma have not been shy in finding the back of the net either, with Mourinho’s team on target in all of their last 11 games across domestic and European action in 2022. Based on their respective recent goal records, both teams will be confident of at least scoring in Naples, but the Azzurri are in need of a win and they have the slightly better form.
Spalletti’s side have won three of their last four games by a 2-1 scoreline and they look well placed to repeat the trick against the Giallorossi at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday night.
