Napoli to Win
In a run that befits the Italian champions-elect, Napoli have won three games on the bounce since their first defeat of the campaign at Inter on January 4th, and the Partenopei’s 12-point lead at the summit of Serie A is beginning to look unassailable. On Sunday, Napoli are favourites to make it nine wins from ten at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona when they host Jose Mourinho’s Roma. The visitors are in good form, though they could be blown away by Napoli’s formidable firepower in the final third. With that in mind, our first prediction backs Napoli to take maximum points again.
Victor Osimhen to Score Anytime
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is setting the pace in the race for the Golden Boot in Serie A this season and the 24-year-old bagged the 13th goal of an increasingly-prolific campaign in the division when he netted against Salernitana on Saturday. Osimhen has rattled the net four times in his last three league appearances overall and the lethal finisher is an interesting prospect in the anytime scorer’s market again on Sunday.

Draw odds: 14/5 (3.8) – 26.3%
Roma odds: 19/5 (4.8) – 20.8%
Roma would love to become the first team to beat Napoli on their own patch this term, though the bookies think that’s unlikely.

Napoli vs Roma Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Sunday’s Serie A contest between Napoli and Roma below.
Napoli
Juan Jesus is currently out of action with a muscle problem, while key Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has a virus that could keep him out until next month. Eljif Elmas replaced Kvaratskhelia in the Napoli XI for their 2-0 win at Salernitana and the North Macedonian international could feature again on Sunday.
Predicted Lineup for Napoli: Meret – Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Min-Jae, Rui – Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski – Lozano, Elmas, Osimhen
Roma
Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is on the road to recovery from a broken leg, though he isn't expected to return to the fold until the middle of next month. Roma are up to 6th spot following a good run and they eased to a 2-0 win at Spezia in their last Serie A test.
Predicted Lineup for Roma: Rui Patricio – Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez – Celik, Cristante, Matic Zalewski – Dybala, El Shaaraway, Abraham
Player to Watch – Stanislav Lobotka
Stanislav Lobotka is happy for his teammates to hog the limelight, though the Russian holding midfielder is a vital cog in Napoli’s winning machine. A confident, slick passer and one of the game’s most press-resistant performers, Lobotka sets the tempo for Napoli and the 28-year-old will be aiming to piece things together again on Sunday.
