All eyes will be on the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday evening, as Napoli host Roma in one of the biggest games of the Serie A season so far.
The two teams currently occupy third and fifth place in the Serie A standings, with Napoli just three points ahead of their rivals.
Whilst catching runaway leaders Inter looks an increasingly forlorn hope, both teams are firmly in the running for a top four finish and place in next season's Champions League.
Napoli have held the edge over Roma in recent contests between the two sides. David Neres' early goal was the difference when the teams last met, and means that I Giallorossi have won just one of their last 12 matches against Napoli.

Napoli - Roma: Form Analysis
Napoli's last gasp 3-2 win at Genoa last weekend means they have now lost just one of their last nine Serie A fixtures. And whilst a slow start to the season effectively put pay to their hopes of retaining the title, Antonio Conte's side still look well placed to secure a top three finish for the fourth time infive years.
Defense the key for Roma
Roma's record of just 14 goals conceded in 24 Serie A matches is comfortably the best defensive record in Serie A and is the main reason why Gian Piero Gasperini's side are still in the running for a Champions League place. At the other end of the field, goals have been hard to come by, and currently, Matias Soule (six goals in 24 games) is the only Roma player to have found the net more than three times this season.

Napoli & Roma Squad Analysis
Billy Gilmour, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Kevin De Bruyne, David Neres and Frank Angussia remain out through injury for Napoli and are unlikely to return in the next few weeks. Key midfielder Scott McTominay sat out the midweek cup defeat to Como, but he should slot straight back into the starting eleven on Sunday.
Dybala to make his return?
Striker Paulo Dybala could return to the Roma lineup on Sunday, after missing the last two weeks with a minor knee injury. However, key players Robinio Vaz, Mario Hermoso, Evan Ferguson and Manu Kone are still out injured, so boss Gian Piero Gasperini may once again elect to shuffle his pack as he looks to find his ideal starting eleven.

Our Napoli vs Roma Prediction
This is likely to be an extremely tight game with little to choose between the two teams.
Roma rarely concede, but their attacking form has been extremely poor for the majority of the season.
Meanwhile, Napoli are showing signs of returning to their best, but are still looking slightly below par in forward areas, especially with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Neres still out injured.
Because of these attacking issues, we think this will end in a low scoring draw.
Our prediction for Napoli vs Roma is: Draw and under 2.5 goals.
