Napoli vs Roma Predictions

• Napoli have seen 3+ goals scored in five of their seven home games
• There have been more than two strikes in three of Roma’s last five outings
• The visitors have conceded eight times across their last two away fixtures in Serie A

Napoli looking to find their stride again

The international break might have come at a good time for Napoli, given their two games directly before it were a 3-0 loss at home to Atalana and 1-1 draw at Inter Milan.

The latter of those results means they return to action sitting top of Serie A, helped by a splendid home record of five wins from six matches.

One of the reasons for that strong form at Stadio San Paolo is their goalscoring ability – the Blues have netted 16 times across their last seven home fixtures, five of which have contained 3+ goals.

Roma welcome a new era

That is not good news for visitors Roma, who arrive in Naples having conceded eight times across their last two away league fixtures, a 5-1 drubbing at Fiorentina and 3-2 loss to Verona.

Such form contributed to a change of manager, and Claudio Ranieri is now back in charge at the Stadio Olimpico, more than five years after his second spell at the helm there came to an end.

He will be charged with tightening up a team who have seen at least three goals scored in three of their last five outings, while also attempting to end a run of twelve without a win on the road.

I predict that there will be 3+ goals scored in this game, with 3-1 to Napoli my correct score prediction.
