Napoli vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (28 April)

Far from the level displayed last year to win the Scudetto, Napoli are today only in 8th place in Serie A, 3 points behind 7th place. The reigning Italian champion should not be able to qualify for the next Champions League but getting a ticket for the C3 or C4 appears feasible. Slowly these days, Victor Osimhen's partners have only won one of their last 6 championship matches, for 3 draws and 2 defeats. After winning at Monza 2-4, they were held to a draw at home by Frosinone 2-2 before losing to low-ranked Empoli last weekend 1-0. The dynamic logically does not inspire great confidence in Francesco Calzona's men. 5th in Serie A with one game more and 4 points ahead of 6th, Roma will have to work hard to qualify for the Champions League.

In a bad position at mid-season, the Louve club made a spectacular recovery under the orders of Daniele De Rossi who was inducted onto the bench in January. Indeed, the Giallorossi have only conceded 2 losses in the last 13 days, for 9 victories and 2 draws. After having gone 7 games without losing, they had a bad operation last Monday by losing, at home, against a direct competitor, Bologna 1-3. On Thursday, Roma played the last 18 minutes of a match against Udinese and managed to secure a precious 1-2 victory. In the Europa League, the Louve club has just eliminated AC Milan and will face Leverkusen in the semi-final.

Naples must do without the important playmaker Zielinski, injured, and are not sure of being able to count on replacement goalkeeper Gollini, announced as uncertain. On the other hand, important defenders Rrahmani and Mario Rui are available again after serving their suspension. The team failed to score against Empoli last weekend.

However, the attacking trio could once again be made up of executives Politano (8 goals and 5 assists in SA), Kvaratskhelia (10 goals and 6 assists in SA) and Osimhen (13 goals and 3 assists in SA).
