*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Napoli are limping towards the finish line and their 1-0 loss to Empoli last time out added another blot to a run of just one win in five Serie A fixtures. Roma meanwhile, are still flying high and they came from behind to beat Udinese 2-1 in their last assignment and kept themselves in the hunt for a top four finish.

Roma have been given just a 26.3% chance of winning at dethroned champions Napoli on Sunday, however, our top betting tips have backed the visitors to upset the odds in Naples.

Player to watch – Paulo Dybala

Roma’s attacker Paulo Dybala has notched 12 times in Serie A this season, though the classy Argentinean forward has also been a key creative force and has provided nine assists for his team in the Italian top tier.

Dybala can shine again

30-year-old Dybala has been in electric form of late, netting six goals and four assists in his last ten appearances in all competitions. The attacker has an array of top-class skills and Dybala could cause numerous problems against Napoli on Sunday in Naples.
