Napoli vs Roma prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 24, 2024
Napoli and Roma are set to clash on Sunday, November 24, in Naples as part of Serie A's Matchday 13. The game will kick off at 18:00 Central European Time. Here's a detailed preview of the match, with an emphasis on predicting the winner.
Match Preview
Due to a challenging schedule, Napoli has slightly lost momentum, allowing a pack of competitors to close in. Conte’s side suffered a loss to Atalanta and then shared points with Inter.
Now, they face yet another high-caliber opponent, one capable of delivering surprises. Napoli will undoubtedly push for a win in this match to avoid slipping into a potential crisis.
Meanwhile, Roma is undergoing yet another coaching shuffle. Claudio Ranieri has taken charge of the team for the third time in his career, tasked with pulling the squad out of its current struggles.
It’s a tough challenge, and Ranieri’s debut match comes against the league leaders and one of the strongest teams in the country. Nevertheless, there’s a sense that we’ll see a very different Roma in this encounter.
Key Match Facts
- Napoli has lost only one home game this season.
- Roma has yet to win an away game in the current campaign.
- Napoli averages 2.2 goals per home game, while Roma averages 1 goal per away game.
Probable Lineups
- Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera; McTominay, Gilmour, Anguissa; Politano, Kvaratskhelia, Lukaku.
- Roma: Svilar; Ndicka, Mancini, Celik, Angeliño; Cristante, Koné, Paredes; Le Fée, Dybala, Dovbyk.
Head-to-Head
Roma has not won in Naples since 2018 but has failed to score in only one of their meetings during this period.
Prediction
It’s unlikely that Ranieri will immediately transform Roma into a team capable of defeating the powerful Napoli. Conte’s side, playing in front of their home crowd, will be determined to secure a victory. My bet is on a win for the home side.
