Serie A Leaders Hit Road for Key Match
Luciano Spalletti will meet his former club AS Roma in a key Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Our sportsbook is offering the best markets and bonuses for Italian top-flight league action.
Let’s check the latest Serie A odds, stats, injury reports, and Serie A lines for AS Roma vs Napoli. We’ve plenty of Serie A betting odds for you to consider.
AS Roma: Great looking squad
Following an inconsistent start to their campaign, Roma has produced two identical scorelines against Inter Milan and Lecce. Despite completely different opponents, Roma won 2-1 on both occasions with Paolo Dybala and Chris Smalling scoring in both. They even managed to win their third consecutive Serie A fixture last weekend, beating Sampdoria 1-0 on the road.
They are now sitting fourth in the standings with 22 points picked up in 10 games, just four points behind leaders and Sunday opponent Napoli. A major concern for Mourinho will be Dybala’s injury. The summer signing has been pivotal to Roma’s attack, but he missed last weekend’s domestic clash. As a result, Sunday’s game could be the opportunity to once again field both Andrea Belotti and striker Tammy Abraham.
Abraham, a star of Roma’s campaign last season, has endured a slow start this time around but is expected to take a more important role in the attacking line. The hosts are very organized at the back, mostly when they are playing in front of their fans, allowing just two goals in four home games. We expect them to make Napoli’s life difficult but we won’t include them in our soccer picks and parlays.
Napoli: Unbeaten
When Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens, and Kalidou Koulibaly left Napoli last summer, the European pundits weren’t expecting Luciano Spalletti’s side to be so dominant in both Serie A and the Champions League.
Napoli is leading the Serie A standing, managing to remain unbeaten in 10 games. They have the best attack in the league with 25 goals scored in 10 games and the second-best defense with six goals allowed in the process. They are one of the most consistent teams in the European top five leagues and if you’re betting online, you should continue to back them.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian winger called to fill Insigne’s role on Napoli’s left flank, has been one of the biggest difference-makers in the league. Giacomo Raspadori, who joined Napoli as a late transfer signing, quickly learned his duties and offensive movements as the lone striker in Spalletti’s system. South Korean center-back Min-Jae Kim is the new defensive leader, showing great charisma and self-confidence in his first season in Europe.
What is even more impressive about Napoli is that they have managed to establish themselves as one of Europe’s most exciting and solid sides, but with a normal budget. The highest-paid players are Mexican winger Hirving Lozano and Nigerian center-forward Victor Osimhen, who collect an annual $4.4m in wages. They managed to destroy both Liverpool and Ajax in the Champions League and they earned a knockout stage spot with two games to spare.
AS Roma vs Napoli Head-to-Head
Last season, the two teams shared the spoils with both picking up two points from two draws. Napoli managed to win three of the last five head-to-heads between the two sides. AS Roma’s last win against Napoli came in 2019 in front of their fans. The hosts have the best home defense in the league with just two goals allowed in four games while Napoli has the best attack in the league with 25 goals scored.

AS Roma vs Napoli Prediction
Despite being on the road, the leaders enter this clash as slight favorites being priced at +140 on the three-way Moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while the goal line is set at 2½.
With 42 goals scored in 14 games across all competitions, Napoli is one of the most entertaining teams in Europe. If you’re looking at the head-to-head record, you should go for the under but the trend is not always your friend. Yes, AS Roma, as always, is very organized at the back but Napoli can’t be kept at bay. They proved their power in every single match this season no matter the opponents. We expect them to extend their brilliant scoring run and secure their leading spot.
