Roma v Napoli

Roma vs Napoli Preview

Roma extended their unbeaten run in the Italian top flight to six games last weekend with a 2-1 win away from home at Udinese but the upcoming hosts look to have their work cut out if they are to preserve this unbeaten run when they play host to the Serie A league leaders, Napoli, at their Stadio Olimpico on Sunday night.

Napoli registered a 2-1 home win against Juventus last weekend to remain top of the Serie A table and in turn keep second placed Inter Milan at arms length in the race for the Scudetto title, and no doubt the visitors will be looking for more of the same on Sunday evening.

Despite putting together this current six-match unbeaten sequence in the domestic top flight, Roma still occupy ninth place in the Serie A table but nevertheless, Claudio Ranieri's side have collected four wins and two draws within this unbeaten run.

Victories gained over the likes of Parma, Lazio, Genoa and Udinese should still give the hosts plenty of reasons to feel upbeat about their chances of taking something from this upcoming encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, especially as the former three wins of the four already mentioned were registered on home soil.

In addition, Roma have won their last four home games on the trot, scoring a total of 14 goals in the process! Napoli continue to hold onto top spot of the Italian Serie A table thanks to picking up a seventh win on the trot last weekend with an impressive 2-1 home win against Juventus but it is testament to Inter Milan's consistency that Napoli possess only a three-point lead over their second placed title rivals.

The wider picture shows Napoli have suffered just two defeats within their previous 21 matches overall in the domestic top flight along with collecting no fewer than 17 wins in the process, so they too have plenty of reasons to believe they have claims on a three-point haul at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday night.

Rare losses within this consistent period of results happened to both be on home soil at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona having slipped to losses at the hands of Atalanta and Lazio respectively, but Antonio Conte's side bring impressive momentum into this upcoming clash which looks set to at least add to their points tally.

Napoli are also unbeaten in their previous 10 outings on the road in Serie A which consists of eight wins along with two draws, while also hitting the back of the net in no fewer than nine of these last 10 away games as well.
