Recent Form

Napoli have taken 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last five matches (W-L-L-W-D). That points to a side still searching for consistency: they have lost two of five and their win rate sits at 40%. Roma have recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat over the same span (W-W-L-D-D). The visitors have avoided defeat in four of their last five. Two draws also show that they have not always turned good spells into victories. In terms of form momentum Roma are a step ahead, but the gap is not overwhelming, as both teams have two wins in their last five.

League Standings

In the 20-team league, Napoli are 9th with 10 points from 7 matches and a goal difference of +3. Roma are 3rd with 17 points from 7 matches and a goal difference of +13. Both sides have played the same number of games, so the gap reflects a real difference in performance: Roma collect roughly 2.43 points per match, while Napoli collect roughly 1.43. The 10-goal gap in goal difference also shows that Roma have been more balanced at both ends of the pitch. You can follow the latest table on our standings page.

Goal Expectation and Key Stats

The two teams share the same average total goals per match: 3.4 in Napoli's games and 3.4 in Roma's games. They arrive at that figure in different ways.

Napoli score 1.8 goals per match and concede 1.6. Conceding that many suggests they leave room for opponents. With a both-teams-to-score rate of 60%, matches where both nets are found are a common pattern for them. Their rate of high-scoring games is 40%.

Roma score 2.2 goals per match and concede only 1.2. They are more productive going forward and more solid at the back. Their both-teams-to-score rate is 40%, so one side is more likely to be kept scoreless in their games. Their rate of high-scoring games is 60%, above Napoli's. This seemingly contradictory picture suggests that when goals do arrive in Roma matches they often turn into a high-scoring game, but clean sheets are not rare either.

Looking at this fixture specifically, Roma's 2.2 goals scored per match is above Napoli's 1.6 conceded, and Napoli's 1.8 scored is above Roma's 1.2 conceded. Both attacks exceed the opposing defence's average, which is a factor that lifts the goal expectation.

iTahmin Verdict

The numbers give Roma the edge in league position, points per match, goal difference, form and goals scored. Napoli's clearest advantages are playing at home and having an attack capable of producing goals. The match therefore looks less like an even contest and more like one with a slight lean towards Roma.

On goals, the shared 3.4 average points to an open game. However, Roma's low both-teams-to-score rate and solid defensive average balance that out. The Over potential tag is therefore at a weak/risky level: the numbers suggest a high goal average, but the two teams' profiles do not point in the same direction, so caution is needed.
