In one of the most interesting clashes this season, high-flying Roma will host current champions Napoli in a game that can have a serious impact on the race for the Scudetto.
AS Roma Team News
Roma enter the game against Napoli sitting 2nd with 27 points, and can realistically be considered a title contender at this point. The team enjoyed a strong start to their Serie A campaign, having won 9 and lost 3 up to this point. Gian Piero Gasperini and his men are also on a 4-game winning streak. A midweek win over Midtjylland is sure to be the perfect result for the Giallorossi before heading into the tough Napoli game. But Roma should do well to remember that nothing should be taken for granted. Despite their impressive point tally, 2 of their 3 Serie A defeats came at the Olimpico against Torino and Inter.
Napoli Team News
Napoli are the ones playing the catch-up game this season, as they will enter the game against Roma from the 3rd spot. This is due to some inconsistent performances over the last few weeks. This stretch includes losses against Torino and Bologna, victories over Inter and Atalanta and a draw against Como. The most important thing for Antonio Conte is that his side returned to its winning ways last time out against Atalanta and also secured a 2-0 win in the UCL before the game against Roma. From a morale standpoint, this should be as good as it can get in light of the recent hiccups.
Head-to-Head-Games
Games between Roma and Napoli have been tight in recent years, but the latter have a slight advantage with 2 wins from the last 5 H2H encounters. But Napoli have failed to win any of their last 2 trips to the Olimpico to face Roma.

AS Roma vs Napoli Betting Prediction
My pick for this game is for Roma to win. Although this matchup is very close and can go either way, they will have the home advantage and will be playing against a Napoli side that has experienced some issues in recent weeks, despite winning its last 2 competitive fixtures. Moreover, Napoli have lost 3 of their last 4 Serie A trips, which include a loss against Milan and Bologna, two teams that are in the league’s top 5, like Roma.
