Odds comparison. Naples-Rome: results, precedents and crossings

Napoli do not want to lose the championship train, Roma can take advantage of Juve’s misstep – stopped at home by Bologna, goals from Arnautovic and Vlahovic – to pursue the dream of qualifying for the next Champions League. It is an Easter Monday in which fundamental points are played for the seasonal objectives and in which a great balance cannot be excluded: if the bookmakers are betting on Napoli – favored over the Giallorossi – there are the recent precedents between these two teams and the performance to be considered. complicated by the training of Luciano Spalletti at Maradona.

Think of the last six games played between these two teams at Napoli: two wins on each side and as many draws. A double Neapolitan success came in the two most recent ones: 2-1 on 5 July 2020 (goals from Callejon and Insigne, in the middle of Mkhitaryan) and even 4-0 in November last year (goals from Insigne, Fabian Ruiz, Mertens and Politano ). But before that year, the Neapolitans had not won at home against Roma in the league since November 2014. The last six matches have therefore given balance but also many goals: 19 in total, 3.2 per game (and on average it weighs 0-0 of December 2015). In the first leg of this season, however, there were no goals: 0-0 at the Olimpico on 24 October.

THE NUMBERS

As mentioned, there is also to consider the performance of Napoli at Maradona this season: considering all the competitions, the Azzurri have lost eight home games (out of 10 total). Only in one season did the Campania team lose more home games, 11 in 1997/98: including the match against Roma, Spalletti’s team has three games to avoid equaling – if not worsening – that negative record (the other two will be against Sassuolo and Genoa). Napoli wants to keep pace with Milan and Inter (now respectively at +5 and +3, with the Nerazzurri always having one game less), Roma will try to shorten Juventus (with a victory the gap from fourth place would be of 3 lengths).
