Another big game in Serie A this weekend features AS Roma at home to Napoli, with the two sides heading to the game with mixed fortunes in their recent matches. Roma are placed fourth on 15 points while Napoli top the league standings with 24 points. Roma will be on a course to redeem their image after the 6-1 drubbing by Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Conference League. They earlier lost to Juventus in Serie A and after suffering three losses in the last five matches, the last thing they needed was to face the most in-form team in the league. Jose Mourinho did rest a few key players for the Conference League game but this weekend he is expected to have a full squad available. The team has been porous in defence, the reason they have three losses in the last five league matches; they’ve conceded three goals twice in those five matches.

Napoli have won all their league matches so far and they go into this game after getting their first win in the Europa League so confidence in the team must be really high. The 3-0 win over Legia Warsaw was their fourth in five matches, with Victor Osimhem scoring yet again – his ninth goal in as many games. They are better defensively, compared to Roma, with four clean sheets in their last five league matches. No team has a better run in defence than Napoli in Serie A this season; they’ve conceded just three goals in their eight matches so far. They have no loss in the last 17 league games, and away from home, they haven’t lost in eight – all of them being wins. Head to head, Napoli go to this game with three straight wins against AS Roma.
