Roma

Under José Mourinho's guidance, Roma faces challenges in producing consistent results this season, with several factors affecting their performance, including players' morale and on-field discipline, as highlighted by Mourinho himself. The team currently sits in eighth place, trailing the Champions League qualification zone by just three points. In their last match, Roma suffered a defeat against Bologna.

Napoli

Walter Mazzarri opted for a less-than-main lineup in the Italian Cup match against Frosinone, resulting in a heavy 0-4 loss at home and an exit from the tournament. Their Serie A results have been less than successful as well. Positioned fifth after 16 rounds, Napoli has struggled against direct competitors, evident in recent losses against Juventus and Inter.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Roma has lost only one match at home this season.
• Napoli has suffered four defeats in their last six matches.
• Roma hasn't defeated Napoli since 2019.

Prediction

Both teams seem to be in uncertain states mentally, making it difficult to predict the winner of this encounter, which serves as another chance for redemption in the eyes of their supporters. My bet is on a total of over 2 goals.
