AS Roma form & record check
AS Roma won their Europa League playoff qualifier against Eintracht Frankfurt during the week. In a game that the Romans dominated defensively, they managed to take a 1-0 lead in the 44th minute through Angelino. In the 69th minute, Shomurodov, who had come on as a substitute two minutes earlier, put the final score at 2-0. This qualifies the Romans for the playoffs with 15th place and 12 points, where they will face FC Porto.
Romans strong at home play on
Above all, the Romans’ home strength is currently to be highlighted. They are currently on a winning streak of seven games at home without losing a point. They scored 23 goals, conceded only three, and kept four clean sheets. AS’s offense is also flourishing in the league – with 23 goals scored in 11 home games, they have the third-best offense in the league after Inter and Atalanta. In the Europa League, they have not been beaten at home, winning three and drawing just one of their four matches, conceding just one goal in the process. If they continue to capitalize on their home form, they could well cause the leaders from Naples a few problems.
AS Roma facts & analysis
- Won last seven home games
- Third-best home offense
- First leg 0:1 lost
Napoli Form & Bilanz Check
Naples are currently in great form, winning all of their last seven league games. They have conceded only five goals, with only once (against Atalanta) getting more than one goal per game. This makes them, of course, currently the strongest team in the Italian league and they are rightfully at the top of the table. They recently managed to turn a 0-1 half-time deficit against Juventus Turin into a 2-1 victory. The last time they managed this was on matchday 16 against Udinese – that game ended 3-1 (0-1). Their defense in particular is a mainstay of their success: with only 15 goals conceded this season, Naples has the best defense in the league.
Napoli successful at home and away
While some teams get more points at home or away, this seems to make no difference for the SSC. This may be another factor in why the Neapolitans are currently at the top. In the away table, Conte’s team is tied for first place with pursuers Inter Milan with 26 points from 11 games. They scored 20 goals (2nd place behind Inter, 29) and conceded only eight goals (also 2nd behind Inter, five).
At home, the statistics are similar. Here they have 27 points after eleven games, just one point more. However, with 17 goals scored, they are only in the middle of the league, but with only seven goals conceded, they are at the top. In their current form, it will be difficult for the competition to keep up with Naples, as they also have no pressure in European competitions and can therefore go into the games with full reserves of strength.
Naples facts & analysis
- Seven league games won in a row
- Best defense in the league
- Shared away most successful team in the league
AS Roma are expected to line up again under the direction of Claudio Ranieri in a 3-5-2 system. Naples, on the other hand, are expected to line up under the direction of Antonio Conte in a 4-3-3 system.
