Roma vs Napoli prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 2, 2025
One of the matches of the 23rd round of the Italian championship will take place on Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico, where Roma will face Napoli. I suggest a bet on goals in this encounter with good chances of success.
Match Preview
In the previous round, Claudio Ranieri's team secured an important 2-1 away victory over Udinese, extending their unbeaten streak in the league to six matches (four wins, two draws). However, Roma cannot boast defensive solidity – they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 Serie A matches this season.
With 30 points, the team occupies ninth place, trailing the European competition zone by six points. At home, Roma traditionally performs strongly – in terms of points gained at home (21), they rank fourth in the league. In their last ten matches at the Olimpico, the Romans have secured seven victories.
Meanwhile, Napoli claimed an important 2-1 home win over Juventus. This success marked Napoli’s seventh consecutive league victory – the last time they had such a streak was in the 2022/23 season. Furthermore, for the first time this Serie A campaign, Napoli has scored at least twice in four consecutive matches.
Napoli continues to lead the standings with 53 points, maintaining a three-point advantage over Inter. It's also worth noting that the Neapolitans possess the best defense in the league, conceding only 15 goals. Their away performances have been consistent – in their last ten Serie A away matches, they have not suffered a single defeat (eight wins, two draws).
