Napoli - AS Roma match analysis

A fight for second place in the Italian league table. Will the hosts use an advantage of their own field?

Very tough match to bet on. The statistic do no tell us much, both teams are in similar shape. What is certain is that if the home team wants to keep the chance of taking second place it must win his match. Roma needs only a draw to keep, safe, 6 points advantage, moreover the win of guests will put Rome in comfortable position. In my opinion Napoli needs to attack, because Rome will be focused on the game of counterattack. Which tactic will turn out to be better? We will see upcoming Sunday.

In this game I will bet on over 2.5. In the past 10 direct matches as many as 34 points were scored which gives us an average of 3.4 goals per game. In this case it is the main factor which I take into consideration when placing a bet. I fear Roma which defends well but lately does not score much (for instance in a last match against Inter Milan there were not even a lot of situation to score), still I will bet on over 2.5 with a minimum stake 1/10.
