Game Preview
Roma will host Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico on December 23 in a major Serie A matchup at Stadio Olimpico.
First up, Roma. Jose Mourinho’s team returned from their November international break with an eye-catching frenzy, but they crashed back to earth in their last game. After a lackluster performance in a 2-0 loss to Bologna, the former Manchester United manager is eager for his team to achieve some much-needed stability at home. Roma hasn’t won consecutive games since the end of October, despite them seemingly cruising to the Europa League knockout stage with little difficulty. Nevertheless, Mourinho’s team should be encouraged by their ongoing success at home as they look to gain ground in the elite 6 chase. While Dybala, Houssem Aouar, Chris Smalling, and Tammy Abraham are still in the recovery room, Lukaku has returned from his suspension. In the previous five games, Roma has scored seven goals and given up five goals.
Regarding the visitors, Napoli may have created true Serie A history by winning their first domestic championship since 1990, but the reigning champions are currently embroiled in a public dispute. After an embarrassing 4-0 thrashing at home versus Frosinone earlier this week, which shockingly sent them out of the Coppa Italia, it seems as though pressure is already building on Walter Mazzarri’s shoulders. The Azzurri have struggled mightily to establish any sort of domestic security since the 2023–24 season began, and they will now have to fight hard in the New Year to secure a Champions League ticket. With only three victories in their last 9 games in all competitions dating back to November 11th, the former Watford manager will also be increasingly troubled by his team’s persistent defensive problems. In addition to dropping their last two meetings away from Naples by a combined score of 5-2, they have only managed one clean sheet since their return from the international break in November.
