NAPOLI v ROMA
Sunday 28th October 2018 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Undoubtedly the match of this weekend’s action in the Italian top flight is the clash between second placed Napoli taking on seventh placed Roma as the betting tips continue in Serie A.
Napoli grabbed a very useful point in a 2-2 draw away at French champions, PSG, during the week in the Champions League and they now return to their Stadio San Paolo as they return to matters in hand in the Italian top flight this Sunday afternoon.
Despite a 3-1 loss away at Juventus, Napoli have won five of their last six in Serie A with wins against Fiorentina, Torino, Parma, Sassuolo and Udinese while they still possess a 100% record at home with impressive stats of 4-0-0 9/2. Three clean sheets from these four matches along with the dangerous forward trio of Insigne (6 goals), Milik and Mertens (3 goals apiece) places Napoli in a strong position to add to their points tally here.
Roma registered a convincing 3-0 home win over Russian giants CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in midweek but they face a tough task of getting something out of an in-form Napoli outfit in this Sunday afternoon clash.
Last time out in Serie A, Roma suffered a shock 2-0 defeat at home to fast improving SPAL at Stadio Olimpico as the hosts perhaps had one eye on their Champions League involvement, but they’d put together a three-match winning streak beforehand with wins over Frosinone, Lazio and Empoli.
Roma’s early away record reads a so-so 2-0-2 4/4 to date as the visitors have beaten the teams they should have with wins at Torino and Empoli, but losses at AC Milan and Bologna already this term show a level of vulnerability about the away side.
My betting tips suggest that a strong home unit such as Napoli should take the spoils in this one.
