Il big match between Naples and Rome will certainly be the most interesting match of the eleventh day of Serie A. The derby del sole will take place at the Olympic stadium in Rome on October 23 at 20:45 pm.
Roma - Napoli will be a very heartfelt match for both teams, both from the point of view of historical rivalry and from the point of view of position in the standings.
Let's analyze the situation in view of the match, trying to understand how the two teams will arrive at this important meeting.
State of form of Napoli
In October, Napoli has played 5 games within 16 days, winning them all. The most important victories were certainly the two against Ajax, a team that suffered all the power of the blue attack.
Despite the victories, the Napoli's defense has always shown some drop in concentration in the last few matches. The team, in fact, has not finished a match with a clean sheet since 14 September, in a 3-0 victory against Rangers.
Fortunately, the Neapolitan attack was very prolific: in the last 5 games he scored as many as 20 goals.
Napoli will arrive at the derby of the sun with almost the entire team at the disposal of Mr. Spalletti. The only ones absent should be Anguissa and Rrahmani.
State of form of Rome
Rome's October was not as rosy as that of Napoli. The Capitoline team, in fact, has totaled only three victories (including that of weight against Inter) out of five meetings. The heaviest defeat was certainly the one in the Europa League against Betis.
In the last match, in which they faced Sampdoria, Roma won by measure and not in a really easy way.
Mourinho, in the match against Napoli, he will not be able to count on the injured Dybala, Wijnaldum, Darboe and Celik. Celik is also in doubt.
Rome - Naples: who is the favorite team
The two teams have a difference of just 4 points in the standings, but Roma seem to be definitely less in shape than Napoli.
Le statistics seem to favor Napoli, but making predictions on a match as always fought as the derby of the sun is always risky.
