Now the team has the opportunity to rise, but an away game against the leader is not the best way to do it. One of the main successes happened in the offseason when they managed to sign Argentine forward Paulo Dybala. He missed the second half of October – early November due to a hamstring injury. At the FIFA World Cup the Argentine still participated, albeit not as often, and by the resumption of the Serie A he came up in top form.
In general, it’s too early to award medals, but the trend is clear. Three years ago, the much-loved Napoli did not exist. What happened during that time? Selection is the key. And so is the right bet on a coach who suits the team in terms of style and is ready for upgrades. There is an important detail in the team’s performance – under Spalletti it has progressed not only over the course of one season, but over the past two seasons as well. If a year earlier they lacked the power to continue the winning streak, now the decline does not come even in the winter, and in the European competitions they managed to become first in the group with Liverpool.
The Rome club will consider disciplinary measures against the player. The 23-year-old midfielder’s contract with Roma runs until the summer of 2024. In the current season, Zaniolo played 17 matches in all competitions, scored two goals and made three assists. Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea FC could be acquired to replace Nicolo. Whatever the case, there has been talk of dissatisfaction with transfer decisions from head coach Jose Mourinho, who has threatened to leave at the end of the season. But rumors can only remain rumors.
Napoli vs AS Roma Prediction and Betting Tips
The team is very good on all fronts, happy with the quality of the attack and not forgetting about the defense. In the current Serie A there is hardly any competitor who can challenge the leadership of the Neapolitans, given their commitment to every game and the current condition of the players. In 19 games, the Azzurri have 16 wins and just one loss. It happened on January 5 in a game with Inter, when the Neapolitans looked sluggish and for only the second time this season left the field without a goal (the first time it was 0-2 against Liverpool FC in the UEFA Champions League).
