Are Napoli a good bet to overcome Roma on 29 January? Luciano Spalletti’s side are odds-on to claim a victory and they average nearly three goals per home clash, with the Naples side having reached the halfway stage of the Serie A season with fifty points on the board. The chances are that they will only need another thirty-five points to seal the deal.

Napoli have been the punter’s friend this season by winning sixteen matches and they are likely to be a football coupon banker for many customers. However, this clash against Roma could be a potential banana skin and we like the tune that Jose Mourinho is currently getting out of the team at the Italian capital.

Six wins, three draws and a defeat on the road tells its own story. Roma are on track to qualify for next season’s Champions League and the objective will be to keep Atalanta and Lazio at bay, with the Rome side also eyeing the prospect of finishing above Milan and Inter in the table. However, they are big betting outsiders to claim a victory in this clash.

We are going to plump for a relatively tight game and it could be worth chancing Under 2.5 Goals, with the Roma defence looking really tight at the moment. It has been three consecutive 2-0 victories and there have been some impressive performances from Chris Smalling and Gianluca Mancini, with Nemanja Matic a trusted lieutenant who operates well as the midfield foil.
