AS Roma vs Napoli prediction 02.02.2025 | Serie A

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 2nd February, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

On Sunday evening, two in-form teams, AS Roma and Napoli, will face off in the 23rd round of the Serie A at Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

AS Roma had difficult seasons behind them as they failed to reach the Champions League in the last six years. This season started absolutely terribly, but after Claudio Ranieri arrived, they started playing much better. Right now, they are in 9th place with 30 points from 22 matches - six points away from European spots. It is nowhere near where they want to be, but they are getting better, and reaching Europe is a real possibility if they continue to play as they did in recent matches. Additionally, with the latest win against Eintracht Frankfurt, they secured the 1/16 Finals and have every reason for optimism for the remainder of the competition.

Napoli won their third Scudetto in the 2022/23 season but had a terrible one after that, as they finished 10th, not even reaching Europe. This season, they are once again looking like a champions-caliber team. Right now, they are in the top spot with 53 points from 22 matches - three points away from the second-placed Inter, but with one game played more. Right now, they are in excellent form but will have a pretty difficult schedule, and it will be a challenge to stay at the top.

AS Roma vs Napoli pick: Both teams to score

AS Roma are in good form, but their best games came at home, where they won seven in a row. During that seven-game winning streak, they scored 23 goals - 3.3 per game. Also, at home, they scored in 14 out of 16 home games - 87.5%. So, scoring at least once against anyone is an entirely real scenario.

Napoli won seven in a row before this game. In the last two games, they were really great, beating Juventus and Atalanta and scoring five goals in total. During that seven-game winning streak, Napoli scored a total of 16 goals (2.3 per game). Additionally, they have scored at least a goal in ten out of 12 away matches - 83.3%. There were definitely concerns when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left the club in January, but they are playing great without him, and we believe they will score well in this match as well. 

Considering both teams' excellent offensive performance and overall form, we believe that both teams' score bet is the safest option for this Serie A game.
