Napoli vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
Napoli will host AS Roma at the San Paolo stadium, which will likely soon bear the name of club legend Diego Maradona, who passed away this week.
SSC Naples:
Diego Maradona played in the most important period of his football career in Naples, scoring 81 goals in 188 games. Under his leadership Napoli went from a club in relegation need to a sub-topper and grew to the top of Italy. In the third season in which Maradona played at Napoli, the club took the national title for the first time in history, in the four years after that one more national title was taken and the UEFA Cup was also won. It is therefore not surprising that everything has been dedicated to the tribute to Maradona, the last number ten of the club, all week.
Last Thursday, the azzurri did the fans a good service by winning in the Europa League against Rijeka. At home they won 2-0 thanks to an own goal from Rijeka and a goal from substitute Hirving Lozano, who, like Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne, started from the bench. The partenopei have now collected nine points in four games but are far from certain of placement. Both Real Sociedad and AZ have seven points, and both still have to face scoreless Rijeka.
Roma:
AS Roma is still unbeaten on the field this season. In the first round of play, after a draw against Hellas Verona, it was awarded a regulatory defeat, but it did not suffer a real defeat yet. In October, it won three times in a row, followed by a draw against AC Milan and CSKA Sofia at the end of October.
This month, AS Roma booked five victories in a row and did so with resounding numbers. Parma was beaten 3-0, Fiorentina won 2-0 and Genoa won 3-1 for the competition. In addition, both meetings with CFR Cluj were won, in Rome it became 5-0 and in Romania it became 0-2 last Thursday. Especially Henrikh Mkhitaryan has found the goal to score. He scored one goal in the total of 72 minutes he played with Cluj in the diptych, scored three times against Genoa and scored two goals against Parma.
