Roma News and Form

Roma are going along steadily. In midweek they took a 4-0 win out at Udinese, leaving them with back to back league victories. They are currently undefeated in their last five. The home record for Roma sits at W2 D2 L1 and last weekend’s win at home over AC Milan is their only win in their last three played there. Roma have averaged exactly two goals per home game this season, but they have also conceded at an average of 1.8 per game.

Even with that, however, only three of Roma’s home games have made it over 2.5 goals. Roma are yet to take a clean sheet on home soil. Roma have scored 80% of their home goals this season in the first half of matches, which is a big trend. They have opened the scoring in 7 of 10 games and victory here will see them take a significant 4 point leave over Napoli.

Napoli News and Form

Napoli, after being the closest challengers to Juventus in the title race, have fallen back a little bit this season. They are W5 D3 L2 and after a midweek draw against Atalanta, they have won only one of their last four played (D3). That is a significant amount of dropped points in that sequence of games from them. It is a five-match unbeaten streak of form that they are currently on in the top flight.

Away from home, Napoli are W2 D2 L1 this season and they are unbeaten in three on the road, drawing their last two at Torino and SPAL. Napoli have been far more productive in front of goal away from home this season, scoring 12 goals at an average of 2.4 per away game. They are currently four points worse off than they were than at this stage last season’s campaign. There are only three teams who have scored more league goals in Serie A than Napoli have done this season.

Who will win – Roma vs Napoli Predictions

Roma have not been that great in front of goal recently, not until their last two. Napoli have been involved in a lot of high-scoring away games and have scored well on their travels. They may have enough to battle their way to three points as they do have head to head form against Roma.
