In the previous round, the Neapolitans missed the opportunity to take the first place in the championship standings again. This time, Luciano Spalletti's team lost to Fiorentina at home, 2-3. The Violets responded to the goals of Osimhen and Mertens with goals from Gonzalez, Ikone and Cabral.
The idea that Napoli simply do not have a winning spirit gained the new meaning. Instead of being first by round 33 of Serie A, the Neapolitans are third and are currently five points behind AC Milan.
Roma has not lost since January 9
Jose Mourinho's team is doing well in the domestic championship. After the terrible defeat against Juventus 3-4 at the beginning of January, with the Turin side's 1-3 comeback, Roma have not lost in 11 matches in a row – 7 wins and 4 draws. Their chances of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League do not look so slim thanks to their prolific performances. Roma sit 5th, six points behind the top four.
On Thursday, the Giallorossi got their revenge in full at home against the Norwegian Bodø/Glimt. A modest team, Roma lost on the road this season by a score of 1-6. But that was a Conference League group stage. Now, in the quarterfinals the Yellow and Reds were stronger 4-0, a hat-trick was scored by Nicolo Zaniolo. Roma are now to face English Leicester in the Conference League semi-finals.
Injured reserve
- Napoli: Giovanni Di Lorenzo will not play. Kevin Malcuit, Andrea Petagna, Adam Ounas are questionable;
- Roma: Tammy Abraham, Nicolo Zaniolo, Lorenzo Pellegrini are questionable.

Expert Betting Tips
Napoli seems to have an advantage in the upcoming game. Unlike Roma, the Neapolitans did not play in European competitions in the middle of the week. Although it is unlikely that Roma spent too much effort against Bodo/Glimt, having decided the outcomes as early as in the first half. Thus, the Giallorossi have the mental strength on their side – the team has advanced to the semifinals of the international tournament, and they have not lost in the domestic league since January. It must have been painful for Napoli after their defeat at the hands of Fiorentina. Luciano Spalletti's players may not have time to recover from this defeat.
Prediction: Roma will not lose.
