Match Overview
AS Roma take on Napoli in a match in the Italian Serie A competition at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday. Both these teams are known to share a fierce rivalry with each other, and this is what makes this game so exciting to watch. The home team have not been able to live up to their standards this season, and they will be keen on getting back on top.
Key Highlights
There have been a total of 28 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which the home team have won 9. Napoli have been victorious in fourteen of those games whereas the rest of the six matches were played out as drawn encounters. Although Napoli have had the advantage over Roma in the past, the home team can strike back on Saturday.
Injury Report
Tammy Abraham, Paulo Dybala and Chris Smalling are among some of the players of Roma who may not be available for selection in this game owing to their respective injuries. Mathias Olivera is one of the biggest absentees in the Napoli side.
Prediction
When these two teams last met, in January earlier this year at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Napoli were able to emerge as the winners over Roma by a 2-1 scoreline. The visiting side will want to do the same this time around as well. However, Roma appear to have learnt from their mistakes. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
