Prediction published on 16/04/2022, 05:44  by Indran in Serie A Predictions

Napoli plays host to Roma in this crucial match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Italian Serie A. The hosts are in third position with 66 points while the visitors are in fifth position with 57 points. Napoli are five points behind leaders AC Milan but have a game in hand over the league leaders. They could be eight points behind them at the start of the match as they play a day later than Milan. Napoli were on a three game winning run in the league before suffering a very disappointing 3-2 home loss against Fiorentina in their last match. Their home form has been their problem this season and rank only seventh in the league with 29 points gained at home while they are top the league with 37 points picked up away from home. Eight of Napoli’s ten defeats across all competitions have come at home.

Roma will be jubilant after their comprehensive 4-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League, a result that sent them through to the semi-finals. It was sweet revenge for Roma after they were humiliated 6-1 by the Norwegian side in the group stage earlier in the season. Roma are looking for a late push in the league to try and secure fourth spot which will see them qualify for the Champions League. They are currently five points behind Juventus and will need to win all their remaining matches to keep the pressure on them. Roma are eleven matches unbeaten in the league, winning seven and drawing four. Roma along with Napoli are the two teams that have collected the most points in the second half of the season.
