- Roma are unbeaten away from home in Serie A 2026/2027, winning two and drawing one, and they haven't conceded a single goal, scoring an average of 2.00 per match.
- Roma are the slight favourites in the betting, but Napoli, who have won their last two home games, will be buoyed by their San Paolo fans.
- Donyell Malen is Roma's danger man in Serie A 2026/2027, having scored six goals in five matches, including three of Roma's last eight strikes over the last five games.
Roma have the edge at Diego Armando Maradona
Gian Piero Gasperini's high-pressing 3-4-2/3-4-3 system has already produced enough excitement in the Serie A 2026/2027 season, and with wing-backs streching the field and Roma capable of some fast vertical transitions, the Giallorossi have been a dangerous away team.
Roma are yet to lose away from home in Serie A 2026/2027, with two wins and a draw on the road, and they arrive here as the slight betting favourites, ahead of Napoli at 2.96 and the draw at 3.3.
Massimiliano Allegri has brought a more cautious approach to Napoli, who sit 9th in Serie A 2026/2027 with ten points from seven matches compared to Roma's 14 from six.
They have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, but come into this game on the back of a two-game slump after defeats to Villarreal and Venezia.
Roma have been on a run of one win, three draws and one defeat in their last five, but they were in the midst of a good patch before drawing 0-0 at Como last time out and they'll fancy their chances of beating the champions.
The visitors have been solid away from home, winning one and drawing two of their last three, so they could take Napoli's current wobble and travel well to Naples.
This should be a chess match between the high pressing Roma side and Allegri's structured, possession-based side, but the away side's form and favourable odds mean they look the most likely winners here.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.91 and Both Teams to Score - No at 2.15, however, look the best way to play this Derby del Sole - which saw a 2-2 draw in Serie A 2025/2026 - as Roma look likely to nick this one in a tight clash with little room for manoeuvre.
Roma haven't won here in their last three attempts, but with Gasperini at the helm and Donyell Malen - with six goals in five matches - they are likely to keep this close in the game with a compact structure.
Napoli have won their last two games at home, where they've lost one and won two in Serie A 2026/2027, conceding just twice in three games. Kevin De Bruyne has provided two of Napoli's last six goals across the last five matches, so he could be the danger man for the hosts.
