Preview: Napoli vs AS Roma Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Azzurri have already defeated the Giallorossi once this season.
SSC Napoli are all set to host AS Roma for their matchweek 25 contest of the 2025-26 Serie A. This is going to be an intense fixture between these sides, taking place at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
The Azzurri have been eliminated from the Coppa Italia after their defeat to Como. Their last two performances in the Italian league competition have been good enough to secure wins.
They have not been very consistent with their performances. Napoli will be at home for their next match, which is going to be an advantage for them.
AS Roma are coming in after securing a 2-0 win against Cagliari in their last league outing. They put in top efforts, which helped them grab three important points.
The Giallorossi are in fifth place on the Serie A points table. They cannot afford to lose here if they want to play UEFA Champions League football next season.
