After 10 stages, “Roma” is in 4th place with 22 points. Jose Mourinho wants more than a place in the Europa League or the Conference League. He is aiming for the Champions League, a competition he has won with Porto and Inter.

For a place in the League, the Capitol will fight until the end with “Napoli”, “Atalanta”, “Inter” and the current champion “Milan”. Lazio, Udinese and Juventus can also give out, depending on the course of the season.

Mourinho’s formations are capable of hermetically sealing the defense, as they did in the recent match against Sampdoria, which saw Roma score 1-0 (first-half goal, then the scoreboard froze), but he can also struggle against an opponent who plays more open, resulting in games on the counter .

The Portuguese won the title that Napoli had been dreaming of since the days of Maradona. He succeeded in 2010 as part of Christie Kivu’s Inter, when he achieved a historic treble.

The leader near “Vesuvius” has 26 points from 30. The 4 points that “Napoli” lost on the road are draws with “Lecce” and “Fiorentina”. In the rest – victories on the account, including 4 brilliant successes in the Champions League, where they lead Group A.

Luciano Spalletti, a former Roma coach in two spells (2005-2009 and 2016-2017) where he did not get on too well with the iconic Francesco Totti, has worked wonders at Napoli. At 63, he brought a breath of fresh air and a lot of energy to the team.

In theory, Napoli should have had a mediocre season with a squad weakened by the departure of two key players: stopper Koulibaly and captain Insigne. But reality leaves a mask for everyone.

Spalletti’s scout is Georgian Khvicha Kvarathelia, 21 years old, brought from Batumi “Dynamo”. The Georgian has 5 goals and 3 assists from the position of a midfielder. In the attack, the Nigerian Victor Osimene receives support from the Argentinian Giovanni Simeone.

Monday’s match will be played on a terrible pitch, on which technical teams looking to build have serious problems due to unevenness.

“Change the pitch or change the coach,” manager Maurizio Sarri told his Lazio leaders bluntly after the 0-0 draw with Udinese.

Superbet shows odds of 2 for the bet that both teams will score and a minimum of 3 goals will be scored (GG and more than 2.5 goals).
