Serie A Contenders Meet in Naples
LEAGUE: Italian Serie A
GAME: Napoli vs Roma
LOCATION: Stadio San Paolo
DATE: Saturday 15/10
TIME: 15:00
In the last 34 meetings between the teams, Roma have won 17 times, Napoli have won 8 times and there have been 9 draws.
Napoli’s players went their separate ways for the international break in disappointing fashion, as they went down 1-0 at Atalanta in Serie A. It was their first defeat of the season and up until that point, Maurizio Sarri’s team were looking capable of challenging Juventus at the top of the table. In further sad news for the club, striker Arkadiusz Milik has been ruled out for a long time, with an injury suffered while on international duty with Poland.
Roma’s players left the Italian capital for international duty with their heads held high, following an excellent win over Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico. After suffering a 3-1 defeat at Torino the week before, Roma needed something to lift their fans spirits and Luciano Spalletti’s team delivered the goods, to produce a result which meant so much to the team and fans. However, away form remains a concern.

Missing Milik
