Napoli set to conquer the Romans at the Stadio Olimpico

In one of the most eye-catching games of the Italian football weekend, Roma host Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night.

Roma have enjoyed a decent start to their Serie A campaign and the men from the Italian capital are currently fifth in the table, just six points behind leaders and opponents Napoli having played a game fewer than their rivals.

The Giallorossi have been in good form of late, having won their last five games in all competitions, while also scoring two or more goals in each of the wins.

The home side have been in good form on home soil of late, winning four of their last five league games at the Stadio Olimpico. Eusebio Di Francesco’s team have also managed to score at least three goals in all four of their recent home wins.

Napoli have begun the Serie A campaign in sparkling form, winning all seven of their games in Serie A so far this season. In fact, they are now undefeated in 19 Serie A outings, recording an impressive 17 victories.

Last time out, Maurizio Sarri’s team recorded a 3-0 win over Cagliari. The visitors have now scored three or more goals in their last five competitive games, so the men from Naples are on fire going forward.

Napoli’s potent attack has contributed to their being over 2.5 goals scored in their last 11 outings in the Italian top-flight.

The visitor’s away record is formidable, as they are 17 games undefeated on their travels in Serie A while picking up 15 wins in the process. They have also scored at least three goals in each of their last six away games in Serie A.

This clash could really go either way, as both sides head into this game in good form. However, Forebet predicts that Napoli will keep up their hundred percent record in Serie A and record an important an important away win in Rome.
