Napoli will play in front of the home supporters at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday when they will entertain Roma in a one-on-one Serie A clash scheduled to kick off at 16:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Pushing for European Qualification, Napoli Look to Return to Winning Ways in Serie A
Napoli have been inconsistent in recent matches in Serie A as their hopes of fighting for a Champions League place next season have faded as the season has progressed.
The just-deposed Serie A champions have won just once in their last five matches in Serie A, demonstrating their inconsistency and poor form that sees them sit 8th on the table with 49 points and outside the European places.
Francesco Calzona’s men are winless in their last two matches, drawing at home to Frosinone (2-2) and losing away to Empoli last Saturday (1-0).
The home match against Roma, who are chasing Champions League places, offers an optimal opportunity for Napoli to get a statement-making win and build confidence for the remaining six rounds of fixtures.
Roma Look to Regain their Consistency as They Fight for a Champions League Place
A lack of consistency has hampered Roma’s fight for a Champions League place. Their four-match unbeaten run ended last time when they were beaten 1-3 at home to their direct top-four rivals Bologna.
The loss of this six-pointer was damaging to Roma as it opened a seven-point lead for Bologna in fourth, albeit Roma having played a match less with their clash against Udinese abandoned last weekend.
In their last five matches, Roma have won just twice, drawn twice, and lost once. They will look to return to winning ways in Naples on Sunday.
