Preview
Roma eye a turnaround after successive defeats against Juventus and Bode Glimt in their previous matches.
Kean’s first half effort was the difference as Roma lost 1-0 to Juventus followed by a 6-1 hammering by Bode Glimt in the UEL.
Jose Mourinho’s side have massively dropped off the pace after starting their season so well.
With 3 losses from their last 5 matches, Roma is desperate to get back into contention as they have gone 10 points behind the league leaders, Napoli.
On the other hand, Napoli will look to get back to the top of the table with a win tonight.
The Napoli side continued their good form with successive home wins over Torino and Legia Warszawa in the Serie A and UEL respectively.
Napoli is 2nd in the points table with 24 points and remain one of the two sides yet to lose this season.
Osimhen scored the winner in the 1-0 win over Torino and Spalletti hopes to see his side maintain the consistency and winning habit.
Both sides last met in the Serie A in March earlier this year where Napoli won 2-0 away.

Napoli is in fine form and are favourites to pick up the honours in this clash due to their consistent form and winning abilities.
Roma’s recent inconsistencies put them on the backfoot and after a mid-week hammering, their confidence would be down.
Both sides pose quality players but Napoli is expected to edge this affair.
Players to watch out for: Abraham, Mkhitaryan, Insigne and Osimhen.
