Napoli vs AS Roma 18.04.2022

Napoli missed a glorious opportunity to take control of the Serie A title race as they lost at home to Fiorentina to remain third on the log, but still very much in the thick of the race, with leaders AC who also dropped points in a goalless stalemate at Torino keeping them just two points clear at the top.

Roma looked average for the better part of the season but they have seemingly engaged another gear as we get to the tail end of the season. They are unbeaten in their last 7 Serie A matches (4W, 3D), winning the last 3 straight including the close 2-1 win over basement side Salernitana last time out

With Napoli keen to get back to winning ways, and Roma coming into their best form, we can expect a close encounter here. We feel these two Italian giants will cancel each other and we are therefore backing a draw here
