Italy Serie A: Napoli Vs Roma Predictions (28/04/2024)

The situation will be filled with excitement as Roma and Napoli meet in the Derby del Sole at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Partenopei are seeking to regain their footing in the Champions League after suffering a startling 1-0 loss to Empoli; a victory over Roma would provide that improvement. Amir Rrahmani and Mario Rui have returned from suspension, whereas Mathias Olivera continues to be sidelined due to injury.

In contrast, the Romans are motivated to maintain their position in the top five. However, considering their lackluster performance in a 3-1 loss to Bologna, we are compelled to wager on Francesco Calzona's squad for this occasion. Leandro Paredes and Diego Llorente are both suspended for the match, further complicating matters for the visiting organization; crucial attacker Romelu Lukaku can also not participate due to injury. The Romans were defeated 2-1 by the Neapolitans in their final encounter in Naples.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Roma triumphed 2-0 over Napoli at Stadio Olimpico to end a stretch of seven consecutive winless runs in their meeting this season.

Before this, Napoli had recorded five victories and two draws in their previous seven meetings with The Lupa.

In the previous six H2H encounters between these counterparts, only one resulted in three or more goals being scored.

Our Predictions

Roma to win or draw

The discontent likely permeated the Roma squad, as evidenced by their visibly agitated demeanor (five cautions) throughout the 3-1 loss at the hands of Bologna.

The visitors have suffered their second loss in the league in the last twelve matches, and De Rossi's ability to manage personnel will be further tested before a critical stretch.

This season, Roma has achieved victory in just five away league contests. At the same time, Napoli has an abhorrent home record, sitting eleventh with fewer goals scored and points accumulated than Cagliari.

However, after defeating AC Milan in the Europa League, the visitors appear to be a more cohesive and formidable group with greater tactical discipline. In contrast, Calzona's squad continues to rely excessively on the brilliant strokes of some of its star players.

This season, Roma have failed to score four times away from home in Serie A, while Napoli have earned three points in a single home match against a top side (2-1 against Juventus) out of seven.

Under 2.5 goals

At odds of 1.90, the ideal alternative bet is under 2.5 goals. Napoli, too, desperately needs points as they vie for European qualification.

Anticipated is a close contest in which neither team will have many opportunities. The Partinopei had only one shot on target in their loss to Empoli last weekend. Conversely, Roma scored two or more goals once in their previous four league matches.
