At 2:45 Beijing time on October 24, the 11th round of Serie A will start a focus battle, with Roma hosting Napoli. Before the match, Napoli were 1st in Serie A and Roma 4th in Serie A, with only four points apart. There is no doubt that this crucial three points are important in the fight for the Serie A title, and neither Mourinho nor Spalletti will be willing to give up. However, there may be some pressure on the boss as Roma have already beaten Napoli in five consecutive games.
The biggest rival of the season, Jose Mourinho's Roma, meets Napoli! Roma have not won the last five meetings, with scores 1-2, 0-4, 0-2, 0-0 and 1-1. The score shows how bad Roma were against Napoli: three clean sheets and just two goals in five games. In fact, Roma have won only one of their last eight meetings against Napoli.
In terms of value, the Roma team is worth 390 million, and Napoli is worth 480 million euros. In terms of players, Dybala is injured and Roma's attack is being tested.
Roma have won three in a row in Serie A and six in Serie A with Napoli, and the two teams meet in the league for the first time in 27 years with a three-game winning streak. However, Roma have not won a single of their last 12 home games against the top four Serie A teams and have lost all of their last three. It can be seen that Mu Shuai is also helpless when facing a strong team.
There is no doubt that this is Mourinho's chance to prove himself and that he needs to beat Napoli to clear his shame: Mourinho has been ranked 35th among the top 50 managers selected by "442"!
In fact, this is also a battle of redemption for Mourinho, because by beating Napoli, Roma has a high probability of winning the Serie A title. For many years, Mourinho has only brought one Europa League with him, which is a shame for the fans who support him. Now, Roma are looking to compete for Serie A and Europa League, and Mourinho will definitely not pass up such an opportunity. In addition, if he beats Napoli, Mourinho will lead Roma to four consecutive wins for the first time.
Roma's attack was put to the test, Dybala's absence was a big loss, and Tammy Abraham's form was worrying. Belotti has scored five goals against Napoli before, but he has yet to open a scoring account in Serie A this season.
On the other hand, Napoli's Kvaracheria has scored 13 goals in 14 games in all competitions, and his outstanding performances have also attracted the attention of teams such as Real Madrid, Barca and Manchester City. It is worth noting that Kvarachelia has provided assists in 4 consecutive games.
It has to be said that Mourinho has a big test as Napoli have won 10 consecutive competitions in all competitions and have surpassed Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. However, for this three points, Roma are unlikely to give up, and Jose Mourinho's immediate response will become extremely important.
