Napoli have recorded 13 wins, ten draws and ten defeats from 33 Serie A games this season and their last success came against Monza on April 7. However a week later, the Blues were forced to share the spoils with Forsinone despite taking the lead twice through Matteo Politano and Victor Osimhen. Last weekend, interim coach Francesco Calzano’s side lost out to 15th-placed Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani courtesy of Alberto Cerri’s lone goal inside the opening four minutes. It was Napoli’s fifth away-defeat from 17 Serie A games on the road this season, but they have the fifth-best away-record in the top flight, having taken 26 points on the road. Meanwhile, the Parthenopeans’ home-record has been poor this campaign, winning only six of their 16 league matches at Diego Maradona Stadium.
Roma, on the other hand, have done decently well on the road this season, recording six wins, four draws and six losses from 16 outings. Meanwhile, they boast the third-best home-record in the top flight, winning 11 of 17 games at Stadio Olimpico and collecting 36 points in the process. On Wednesday night, the Little Cubs came from behind to secure their 17th league-win of the season away to Udinese thanks to Romelu Lukaku’s 64th-minute equaliser and Bryan Cristante’s dramatic winner five minutes into the injury time. Daniele de Rossi’s side have now won five of their last seven games in all competitions, losing only once in the period.
Napoli probable starting lineup: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Jesus, Rrahmani, Rui, Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski, Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Roma probable starting lineup: Svilar, Karsdorp, Mancini, Huijsen, Angelino, Bove, Cristante, Pellegrini, Dybala, Abraham, El Shaarawy
