The task for Napoli will be to strengthen their lead at the top of the Italian Serie A as they travel to Roma on Sunday. 

The hosts have found their form in recent games and are pushing for a European place. Sunday’s clash against the leaders will be a real test of their resurgence.

Roma Form


Roma continue to improve under manager Claudio Ranieri and have now progressed from the first phase of the Europa League after claiming a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. They also won their previous Serie A fixture, beating Udinese 2-1 last weekend.

At the heart of Roma's resurgence is a solid home form that has seen them win their last seven matches across all competitions at the Stadio Olimpico. The capital club are not out of the race for European places yet as they sit just six points off the top six. 

Roma have looked more exciting going forward lately and have scored in each of their last seven home matches across all competitions, with six of the last 12 goals coming in the second half. However, they have conceded in four of their last five Serie A matches.

Napoli Form


Napoli remain three points clear at the top of the table and have won their last seven Serie A matches. They also ended Juventus’ unbeaten run in Serie A by claiming a 2-1 victory last time out. 

The Neapolitans have also impressed on their travels and are unbeaten away from home since the 3-0 defeat at Genoa on the opening weekend. They have won the last five in that run and beat Atalanta 3-2 in their previous fixture on the road. 

Romelu Lukaku has nine Serie A goals this season and will be keen to get one against his former club. The striker leads a Roma attack that has scored six second half goals in their last four Serie A matches while the hosts have also conceded in three of their last four Serie A away fixtures. 

Head to Head


Napoli have three wins while Roma have only claimed one win in the last seven meetings. The other three fixtures have ended in draws while Napoli picked up a 1-0 home victory in the reverse fixture back in November.

Verdict

Napoli have eased past most of their opponents lately but face a Roma side that are also in good form and are particularly impressive at home. Both teams are likely to cancel each other out in this one.
 
The attacks have shown their quality lately and can be backed to score on Sunday. With both teams often scoring more after the break, the second half is likely to produce more goals.
