Last Game Records
Napoli edged a tight contest when the duo met at the Stadio Olimpico earlier in the season. The game looked to be heading for a goalless draw, but Victor Osimhen netted ten minutes from time to give Napoli a 1-0 win.
Last term, both Serie A matches ended in draws. In the game in Naples, Stephan El Shaarawy’s injury-time goal canceled out Lorenzo Insigne’s early penalty.
Napoli are unbeaten in six against Roma, picking up four wins and drawing twice. Giallorossi’s last triumph in this fixture came back in November 2019. Check out our Napoli vs Roma bet for this one.
Napoli vs. Roma Analysis
No Team Seems Capable of Stopping Napoli
Napoli have looked the real deal in Italy’s top tier this season. Luciano Spalletti’s side have hardly put a foot wrong, winning a staggering 16 of their opening 19 league matches of the campaign. Their sole defeat came against Inter Milan in early January.
Since that reverse in the San Siro, Napoli have responded with three straight league wins. In their last home match, Partenopei embarrassed Juventus with an incredible 5-1 win. Osimhen bagged a brace in the rout.
Napoli have dropped just two points at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this season. Only U.S Lecce have left Naples with a positive result. Since then, Spalletti’s troops have won every home league and cup match apart from the last one, which they lost on penalties to Cremonese in the Coppa Italia.
Napoli have not won the league title since the 1989-90 season. However, no team looks capable of stopping the class of the 2022-23. The Blues are flying in first place with 50 points to their name, 12 points clear of second-place AC Milan. They are also through to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Roma is Looking for a Champions League Spot
Jose Mourinho’s Roma, who are 13 points behind Napoli, are well and truly in the mix for a Champions League spot this season. Under Napoli, things are very tight in the table, as Milan, Lazio, Inter and Roma are separated by just a point.
The Yellow and Reds have put together an excellent unbeaten streak, winning four and drawing three of their last seven matches in all competitions. Since losing to Napoli in October, only Lazio have beaten them.
Getting back into the Champions League is the main aim for the Rome giants this season. At the halfway point, Mourinho’s men are in with a great chance.
Roma would love to keep up their unbeaten record with a positive result in Naples on the weekend. However, the Magic One head to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as the underdogs.

Napoli vs. Roma Betting Pick and Prediction
When making your Napoli vs Roma bet, keep in mind that Napoli look unstoppable right now. They are 12 points clear at the top and closing on their first title for over 30 years. They will no doubt have a few bumps along the way, but Napoli are priced at just -600 to lift the trophy come the end of the campaign.
Roma are having a strong season under the experienced Mourinho, and their form over the past few months has been great. Unfortunately for the capital club, we can see Napoli doing the league double over them this weekend.
Napoli have conceded just seven home league goals this season. They kept a clean sheet in Rome back in October, and we are backing the leaders to win to nil again (+175). If you want more soccer picks, we also like the look of +188 for the hosts to win by a -1 handicap margin.
