  • Romans failed to keep a clean sheet in previous four home matches in Serie A
  • Gialorossi suffered their last defeat at home on 29 November, 2015

Roma vs Napoli Prediction

Monday’s clash at Stadio Olimpico pits together the two teams who are desperate to book a place in the Champions League group stages. With only five points separating the two teams in the Serie A standings, there is every chance we will see a close encounter in the “Eternal City”. The Giallorossi have been producing splendid performances under Luciano Spalletti, but given that Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri welcomes Gonzalo Higuain back to the starting XI, I believe that both teams to score bet should be considered. Taking everything into account, a lively contest is on the cards.

Betting tip: Both teams to score

Odds: 1.65 (7/11) @10Bet
