Napoli vs Roma prediction 2024-04-28
There will be fireworks when Napoli and AS Roma square off against each other at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Derby del Sole. The Partenopei aim to recover from a shocking 1-0 loss to Empoli and a win over Roma will see them keep their Champions League hopes alive. Both Mario Rui and Amir Rrahmani are back from suspension, while defender Mathias Olivera remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Romans, on the other hand, are eager to retain their spot in top five, but given their poor performance in a 3-1 defeat to Bologna, we are tempted to put our money on Francesco Calzona’s troops this time out.
Prediction: 2-1 (Napoli)
