AS Roma vs. Napoli Prediction

• Where: Olimpico, Rome, Italy
• When: Sunday, October 23, 8:45 CET

The perfect way to close the weekend is to watch the big Serie A derby between AS Roma and Napoli. Two teams clash at the Stadium Olimpico in Rome, both aiming to win. Napoli tops the standings with 26 points, not losing a single of its 10 games. Meanwhile, Roma is fourth, four points behind, and also displaying solid performances lately. This is the biggest game of the round, so we decided to cover it.

AS Roma vs. Napoli Preview

AS Roma

Mourinho’s unit didn’t post some impressive performances, but Il Lupi is near the top of the standings. Seven wins, one draw, and two losses following ten games is a solid record for Roma, who, on the other hand, struggles to deliver in the Europa League, but to be honest, we don’t know whether they have some ambitions in that competition.

When looking solely at the Serie A, Il Lupi won three in a row, with the streak starting on the road in Milan, where they beat Inter Milan, 1-2. After that, Roma triumphed against Lecce with the same result before triumphing in Genoa against Sampdoria, 0-1.

The team from the Italian capital plays well at home, having three wins in the league games and one defeat, keeping three clean sheets during that span.

Napoli

Gil Azzuri are on fire, having 10 consecutive victories in a row throughout the UEFA Champions League and Serie A. Luciano Spalletti managed to create one very aggressive and offensively-gifted unit capable of scoring against any defense in the world.

Throughout these 10 wins, Napoli scored two or more goals on each but one occasion, while on the other hand, conceded in all but two. Gil Azzuri isn’t afraid of exposing their backline because the offense is so good, and the chances of them not outscoring the rivals are pretty low.

In seven outings this season, we’ve seen them winning in all but one, a draw in Florence against Fiorentina, 0-0. Also, it was the sole game in which this crew hadn’t managed to net twice.

AS Roma vs. Napoli Prediction

This should be a fun game to watch, with high efficiency involved. Despite Paulo Dybala not playing for the hosts, Roma can score, and we don’t need to say anything about the guests’ offensive potential. We believe that both teams scoring over 2.5 is the perfect pick for this contest.

Our verdict: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals
