This game holds the assurance of goals; Roma have scored at least two goals per game in five of the last six. They are still recovering from a poor start to the campaign and the shock loss to SPAL in their last league game was perhaps a stark reminder that they are not yet out of the woods. Now they get to test themselves against top notch opposition, Napoli, who are second on the log, just four points behind leaders Juventus. Napoli are unbeaten in their last four matches, three of which have been wins, and clean sheets. They have scored twice in each of the last three matches and in five of the last seven. Of their nine Serie A matches, Napoli have lost just two and in the last nine matches, across all competitions, they have lost just once, keeping six clean sheets. In fact, they have failed to score in just one Serie A match this season; they have scored 12 in the last five league matches. They have not lost any of their last nine Serie A home matches, winning eight of those while they have just one loss in the last 15, winning 13. Losses to Bologna and SPAL soil Roma’s run in Serie A in the last five matches and going to this game, they haven’t beaten any team above them. They managed a win over Empoli in the last game, bringing to an end a two – game losing run away from home and will hope to do better here. Roma have managed three wins over Napoli in the last five meetings and though they head to this as underdogs, it is worth noting they have largely been the dominant side in this clash, with 19 wins in the 38 meetings, while Napoli have won 10.
