The 2023-24 edition of Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Napoli lock horns with Daniele De Rossi's AS Roma side in an important encounter at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday.
Napoli vs AS Roma Preview
AS Roma are in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The Giallorossi edged Udinese to a narrow 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Napoli, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table and have struggled so far this season. The Neapolitan outfit slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Empoli last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
