Last night, they beat Sassuolo to get 40 points, and if they can beat Sassuolo tonight, they will have 41 points. For the 50-point leader, it would be better if they beat them tonight, or else they will get a draw to ensure at least a 10-point lead over the Milanese duo, which is totally acceptable. Roma side, although the team is temporarily ranked 6th, but if you beat Napoli can tie Inter, so the qualification situation is good, the guests must naturally go all out. Not to mention, this is a sun derby, and the fans on both sides are very enthusiastic.
In the pre-match press conference, Mourinho congratulated Spalletti in advance for leading Napoli to the title this season. This compliment seems a bit exaggerated, but considering the Milanese duo's poor form this year, it doesn't feel excessive. It's just that Napoli need to be careful of Mourinho's psychological warfare, after all, Spalletti has no experience of winning the Serie A title, and the Napoli players even more so, they need to be careful of the possibility of dropping points due to laxity, although for this game, the hosts have a very full squad.
On Roma's side, Zaniolo's transfer is stalled, and the club is inclined to put the player out of action and not hire him again, considering his previous strike behavior. For this match, Roma's right side starter Čeljic is suspended, and Zalewski on the left side will go for a cameo on the right, while Spinazzola plays left wingback. In Zaniolo's absence, Pellegrini will go along to support the strikers, with Cristante and Matic partnering in midfield. As it stands, Dybala is in excellent form, and his efficiency in the forward line is significantly higher than Zaniolo's, so the latter's such a mess that it boosts the quality of Roma's offense instead. Not to mention, Roma has relied on set pieces to score many times this season, which is something Napoli needs to be careful of.
