Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when AS Roma and Napoli square off against each other in the Serie A derby. The Giallorossi failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Bologna, but it has to be noted that both Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala misses the trip to the Northern Italy. Lukaku is back from suspension, but Dybala remains in the recovery room alongside Houssem Aouar, Chris Smalling, and Tammy Abraham.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over Cagliari in their last league match, but beating Roma in “The Eternal City” is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Andre Zambo Anguissa, Elif Elmas, and Mathias Olivera are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides.
