Napoli take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 25 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, February 15th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli have been playing under Conte since the summer before last. As almost everywhere else, Antonio delivered quick results at first, and the maximum ones: even benefiting from Inter’s three-trophy chase, the team managed to win the Scudetto race last spring. However, everyone remembers how quickly problems usually start with this coach, and in Naples there have already been several moments when he was reportedly close to leaving. Yes, they won the Super Cup last month, but January ended in failure in the Champions League, as they did not reach the playoffs after a home defeat to his former team, Chelsea. In the cup, they struggled at home against Cagliari and advanced only after a penalty shootout. Later, there was also a draw in regular time against Como, but this time the opponent went through. In Serie A, there have been too many dropped points to seriously believe in a title defense, and even finishing fourth would already be an achievement. They were close to losing points again against Genoa, but still snatched a 3–2 win with a goal deep into stoppage time. Recent league performances show instability, with results often decided by fine margins. Overall momentum suggests Napoli are still competitive, but far less dominant than a year ago.

Roma understand their priorities, although they can achieve more. Last season, the Wolves reunited with Ranieri, and it took just one or two points less than needed to finally reach the Champions League. This was despite Claudio coming out of retirement to rescue the club after a poor start to the 2024/2025 campaign. What his predecessor failed to achieve is now being implemented by Gasperini, who arrived in the summer from Atalanta. From his time in Bergamo, everyone knows that he works with a long-term vision, and in Rome his new team has indeed managed to stay quite steadily in the top four. Still, there have been setbacks, including a defeat to Udinese. In the previous round, however, Roma secured a win against Cagliari. At the same time, they were eliminated from the cup by Torino. There were also issues in the Europa League, but Roma still reached the playoffs, and moreover finished among the top eight, which allows them to enter the knockout stage later. Recent results point to improving balance and discipline in league matches. Roma’s current form suggests they are capable of competing consistently, even if occasional slips remain.
In the last four meetings, draws and wins for the Partenopei have alternated. For now, the visitors have not fully learned how to handle matches of this level against top opponents. The bet is on a home win with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with 0.0 handicap.
