Napoli Roma match preview

The second Saturday’s derby in the 27th round of Italian Serie A, we have the leading Napoli and the fifth Roma, which at the moment has a big 19 points behind. In addition, the Romans are coming to the South of Italy after two defeats in a row, while the Napolitans made 10 wins in Serie A and have also celebrated against Roma in the last two championship duels.

SSC Napoli

However, the Napolitans made these two victories on the Roman Olympico, while they were defeated last season with 3-1 by Roma, and have thus ended up on the table behind them. However, this season is a completely different situation because the team of Napoli team has been in a leading position for a long time and they are the only true competitor in the fight for Scudetto, which has one game less and four points behind.

And how much Napoli is determined to end this long-standing dominance of the “Old Lady” in Apennines, is best confirmed by the fact that they have neglected all the other competitions, so they were eliminated in Coppa Italia by Atalanta and in Europa League by Leipzig. We should also add that coach Sarri’ players in the last round of Serie A even celebrated with 5-0 against Cagliari, so we now expect the same 11 players on the field against Roma, especially since defenders Chiriches and Ghoulam and striker Milik are still injured.

Probable lineups SSC Napoli: Reina – Hysaj, Koulibaly, Albiol, Mario Rui – Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik – Callejon, Mertens, Insigne

AS Roma

For the guests from Rome we have already said in the introduction that are awaiting this big derby with Napoli after two defeats in a row, first in the match of the round of sixteen in the Champions League, when they lost to Shakhtar at home with 2-1 and then in the championship where they loot to Milan on their Olympico with 2-0. While this defeat in Ukraine was not tragically perceived, as they had another chance in the rematch at home, they fell again to fifth place in the championship, with the proviso that they have one point less than Inter and two from Lazio.

That is why it would be bad for them to lose this time at San Paolo, but on the other hand they are aware that Napoli has been playing great lately and they will be extremely motivated on Saturday to keep their first place on the Serie A table. However, the Romans see their chance in their fast counter-attacks, which would require El Sharaawy and Dzeko to return to the first team after a short break, while defender Karsdorp and midfielder Gonalons are still out of action due to injuries.

Probable lineups AS Roma: Alisson – Florenzi, Manolas, Juan, Kolarov – de Rossi, Strootman – Under, Nainggolan, El Shaarawy – Dzeko

Verdict:

Even though they are welcoming a team that has mastered them in San Paolo last year, we also have to know that Napoli is currently in great shape and will certainly give its best to celebrate in this match and thus make another important step towards winning Scudetto.
