Napoli vs. Roma Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Napoli vs. Roma at Serie A

Where: Diego Armando Maradona, Naples, Italy
When: Sunday, February 15, 8:45 pm CET

At one point, it seemed as if both units might challenge for the Serie A title this season. Right now, such a scenario isn’t realistic, with Napoli having 8 points fewer than Inter and Roma 12. While the hosts are still hoping to reach Nerazzurri, Roma is after the Champions League spot, and they need points. With both sides feeling the imperative to win, this game should be very interesting to watch and bet on.

Napoli vs. Roma Preview

Napoli

Il Partenopei are trying to gain ground after a series of terrible performances. Before their recent back-to-back triumphs over Fiorentina and Genoa, they had won only 1 of 7 games, posting 4 ties and 2 losses.

This not only saw them slip out of the title race but also ended their Champions League participation outside the top 24 teams, which is a huge disappointment.

Antonio Conte’s team oscillates a lot, but what is constant is that it plays at home, it usually scores two or more goals. This happened in 8 of the previous 10 appearances at the former San Paolo stadium, across all the competitions.

Roma

Il Lupi has the toughest defense in Serie A. It allowed 14 goals in 24 contests, but on the other side, their attack is the weakest of all the top 7 teams in Serie A standings.

They were topping the table for a while, but at one point, Roma’s inefficiency took its toll, and other rivals overtook Gasperini’s crew. Even now, we can’t say anything changed, and the recent results suggest that. They posted two ties and a loss before beating Cagliari this Sunday night, 2-0.

Roma’s games are highly inefficient. The previous 6 have seen under 2.5 goals, and only one in the last 10 has seen 3 or more goals. This is a completely different playstyle for Gasperini than the one he used while leading Atalanta.
