AS Roma vs Napoli prediction
A defeat at Bologna denied AS Roma a place in the top 4 last week. Both Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala’s gap seen on the pitch made their manager, José Mourinho admit that they lacked physicality and class at Bologna. The Giallorossi are back at home preparing to welcome Napoli this weekend. However, The availability of every key player is crucial in this next fixture against Napoli if they are meant to get a result out of the reigning Champions. Lukaku is back but Dybala will be left out in the recovery room.
Napoli’s speed in the race to defend their title is reduced and it is very hard to believe they could manage to catch up unless they perfect their games. They have a very promising performance against AS Roma as they have kept a record of 7 consecutive undefeated games against AS Roma. Their recent colorful form came at the expense of losing the first scudetto, the Coppa Italia, which has just slipped out of their hands after being crashed with a 4-0 loss to Frosinone on Tuesday. A point on the road could be the best way to console them from the painful exit of Coppa Italia.
This match could be in balance hence for the AS Roma vs Napoli prediction you can bet on a 1-1 draw.

Prediction 2: Under 2.5 Goals
AS Roma has been having a little trouble entering into a score sheet in the two recent games. They scored none in their last away match with Bologna and this is similar to the recent Napoli’s Coppa Italia game. If you dive deeper into their head-to-head, you can notice that in their recent 4/5 consecutive matches, all ended with no more than 2 goals. Their next meetup is crucial for their ranking hence we are expecting to see a very tight affair that is full of defensive actions. We say bet on Under 2.5 goals as your alternate event selection in this game.

Prediction 3: Over 4.5 Cards
The Giallorossi will be bringing in physicality and offensive pressing to get everything out of Napoli but we can not expect Napoli to sit and watch. This is pushing for seeing a lot of players in the referee’s book and hopefully, they will survive a red card in this game. You should know that in their last 10 straight meetups, 8 matches ended with at least 5 bookings. We are predicting this trend to happen again in this fixture hence we believe betting on Over 4.5 Cards could be in your favor in this game.
