This weekend’s Serie A schedule includes some huge fixtures and these Roma vs. Napoli predictions give an update on the picture at the top of the table. Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli are currently leading the way, with Jose Mourinho’s Roma in 4th place.
Roma vs. Napoli odds
1 – Napoli to win at – 16/11
2 – Napoli over 2.5 total goals – 19/5
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 16/19
4 – Both teams to score – 4/6
5 – Napoli to win 3-1 at – 19/1
This tie will be eagerly anticipated by Serie A fans with Napoli looking to solidify their position at the top of the table with Roma chasing them down.
Both sides come into the game on the back of a positive run of domestic results, with hosts Roma winning their last three Serie A games and Napoli picking up maximum points from their last six league outings.
Despite Roma looking good under Mourinho in recent weeks, Napoli look unstoppable right now. Spalletti will be eyeing this as a crucial marker if his side were to live up to their favourites tag at the Stadio Olimpico.
As expected, based on their dominant winning run, Napoli have hit a hot streak in front of goal, with 25 league goals comfortably the most scored in Serie A so far this season.
Within that run, Napoli have scored over 2.5 goals inside 90 minutes of action in their last three Serie A games and over 2.5 in their last five matches across domestic and Champions League ties.
However, despite their potency up front, Napoli have struggled to keep clean sheets. There have been no successful shut outs in their last six games in all competitions – and they now come up against a Roma side that has scored in all of their last five matches.
Spalletti will not be happy with the number of goals his team are conceding right now. But he will still be confident against his old side, as Napoli are proving capable of outscoring any team in Europe so far this season.
It is too early to assess their chances of a sustained title charge but if Spalletti can keep Napoli on course ahead of the World Cup, he will be confident of fighting hard for the scudetto in 2023.
