AS Roma and Napoli will meet again in the Serie A Week 17 at the Olimpico Stadium, Roma Saturday, December 23, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Roma is currently ranked 8th in the standings with 25 points. They have won 3 and drawn 3 in their last matches. However, their defeat to Bologna on December 18 has put them behind in the race for the top four.
However, with only three points difference from Bologna who is in last place in the race for tickets to the Champions League, Roma still has a chance to climb to that position.
On the other hand, Napoli, currently ranked 5th with 27 points, have suffered some disappointing defeats recently. They lost to Inter and Juventus in early December, and recently lost 4-0 to Frosinone in the Coppa Italia. This defeat is certainly a warning to Walter Mazzarri that they must not be careless and are serious about maintaining their consistency.
However, although they have suffered some defeats, they have also scored some important wins, including victories over Braga and Cagliari. This fact shows that Napoli, who managed to qualify for the last 16 of the UCL as runners-up in Group C, still has the potential to become a serious threat to Roma.
One of the key factors that may influence the outcome of this match is the return of Roma striker Romelu Lukaku after his suspension. Lukaku has scored 7 goals in Serie A this season and has scored 3 goals in his last 4 matches. Lukaku’s return could be a big challenge for Napoli’s defense, who have conceded 9 goals in their last 5 matches.
However, both teams will also feel the impact of the absence of several key players. Roma will be without Aouar, Dybala, Smalling, Kumbulla and Abraham, while Napoli will be without Elmas and Olivera. The absence of these players could affect the strategy and performance of both teams.
Based on all the facts presented above, it seems that Roma has the advantage in this match. One of the reasons, Jose Mourinho’s team is unbeaten in their last 9 matches at home, while Napoli have lost their last 2 matches as a visiting team.
In addition, with the return of former Manchester United and Inter Milan striker, Lukaku, plus the support of Tammy Abaraham and Paulo Dybala, Roma may have an advantage in attack in the 17th round of Serie A 2023/24.
