Giallorossi unstoppable at home in the last period, but the league leaders do not want to stop

SPORTS TODAY

Seven consecutive victories are the best possible calling card for Napoli in view of the difficult match with Roma in the late match of the 23rd day of Serie A. Antonio Conte's men are all looking down on the league standings and aim to confirm their lead this weekend, but they will find themselves facing a team that is also coming off an excellent moment, especially at home: at the Olimpico, in fact, the Giallorossi have won the last seven matches faced in all competitions, including the last one against Eintracht in the Europa League, showing off one of the best performances of the season.

Roma vs Napoli: prediction and odds

Napoli have remained unbeaten in nine of their last 10 Serie A games against Roma: the only Giallorossi success in the period came on December 23, 2023, 2-0 thanks to goals from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Romelu Lukaku, a center forward who will most likely be at the center of the Neapolitan attack on Sunday evening. Furthermore, the Giallorossi have won only two of their last 10 home games against the Azzurri and in three of their last four they have not even found the back of the net: in fact, in the recent past, the challenge between these two teams has often been directed by episodes after phases of great balance. In six of the last eight matches between these two teams, the total number of goals scored has never gone beyond two and in six of the last nine at least one of the two teams has not found the target.
