Napoli to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Three draws at the start of the year have seen Italian champions Napoli fall of the pace in the Serie A title race but they can keep up the pressure on the top two with a narrow victory over Roma. Meetings between these two have been close recently but Napoli will be wary of the threat posed by the visitors who could join them on 49 points with a victory at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Antonio Conte will look to keep things tight and the home side could nick a victory on Sunday.

Napoli 1-0

Reason for tip

Eight of the last ten meetings have featured no more than two goals while six of the last ten have seen one or both teams fail to score, so backing a 1-0 home win could pay off. Napoli have become quite leaky by their standards, conceding in six straight matches, but prior to that they had kept clean sheets in four of their last five matches and boss Antonio Conte will look to return to those miserly returns. It won’t be easy shutting out Roma but the home side could pull it off.

Romans set to be conquered

Napoli are trailing leaders Inter by nine points in Serie A and the Italian champions were dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Como during the week, but things could improve this weekend with a narrow victory over Roma our prediction.

I Partenopei currently sit third and their title defence is crumbling mainly due to a run of draws at the turn of the year. Things have improved over the course of the last month and the Naples outfit can take another step forward against a dangerous Roma side.

I Giallorossi could join Napoli on 49 points with a win at the Diego Maradona Stadium but they have a miserable recent record against the champions who have conceded just nine goals in 11 home matches this term.

Meetings between these two are often tight, while Roma’s struggle to score too many goals away from home could also damage their chances this weekend.

Eight of the last ten meetings have featured no more than two goals, while one of both teams have failed to score in six of the past ten dust-ups, so backing a narrow home win looks the way to go.

Napoli have lost just one of their last 12 meetings with Roma, so they look a decent-value bet to edge home by a 1-0 scoreline, just as they did in the capital in November.
