Roma v Napoli: top two in Serie A go head to head
A great match, on paper at least, tonight at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A (7.45pm LIVE on BT SPORT).
It’s the top two in the table and the big question is whether Roma can continue their remarkable start to the new season.
They are seven wins from seven and have conceded just one goal.
Napoli haven’t exactly done badly themselves under new coach Rafa Benitez – they lie second in the table, two points adrift, and will go top if they beat their southern rivals here.
As you can see it’s usually a fixture that guarantees goals.

Some are even touting this as a title decider so early on in the season.
Both teams will be as keen to avoid defeat as they will be to win the game so there could be an element of cancelling each other out going on.
As such I’m a seller with Star Spreads on the Total Goals market which is trading at around 2.9-3.1.
ADVICE
SELL TOTAL GOALS at around 2.9
