Prediction for the Serie A match which will take place on December 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Roma

The Giallorossi approached the previous round match against Bologna with serious personnel problems - Jose Mourinho had almost no strikers in his squad. Abraham has been out of action for a long time, Dybala was injured again, Lukaku was disqualified for a red card in the meeting with Fiorentina. Azmoun was ready to play not a full match, and the choice in attack was non-alternative - Belotti, who in Roma has not yet been able to find his game. As a result, the Giallorossi expectedly failed to score, while in defence they failed to maintain reliability, conceding twice. 0:2 - the capital team fell out of the European Cup competition, dropping to eighth place in the standings.

Last Monday, Roma learnt their opponent for the round of 32 of the Europa League. It was Dutch Feyenoord, which the Romans successfully passed in the previous draw, when they reached the final in the second European club tournament.

Napoli

The Neapolitans played the match of the previous round at their own stadium. The opponent of the team was much less serious than Roma - Cagliari. Napoli picked up three points, although they did not do without problems (2:1). The Neapolitans are fifth in the table with one point behind the Champions League competition. By the way, Napoli's opponent in the round of 16 of the Champions League is already known - Barcelona.

Napoli failed to consolidate their victory in the championship on Tuesday weekend with success in the Italian Cup. Moreover, the Southerners lost 0:4 to Frosinone on their home field. The Neapolitans already have a lot of bad matches this season, but this one seems to be by far the most disappointing of them all.

Expert Betting Tips

Roma has a weak statistics of matches with Napoli in recent seasons, but now, as it seems, the Romans have a really good chance to break the series of failures. Firstly, Romelu Lukaku will return to the pitch, with whom the attack of the Romans began to look much more interesting. Secondly, Napoli have a lot of problems this season - the Southerners play more poor matches than quality ones, and, for example, in the last nine games they have won only three times. Let's bet on Roma.
