Roma have won five of their last nine games

In the 25th round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Napoli and Roma will take place on February 15, 2026. A head-to-head clash between contenders for a spot among the league leaders.

The Naples club, under Conte, has not only regained its position—it managed to reclaim the “scudetto” after finishing outside the European competition zone in 2023/2024! Last month, they also added the Super Cup to their collection. However, things are going much worse in more important tournaments. The Champions League ended in disappointment—the Italians failed to reach the play-offs after losing the last home match to Chelsea. In the cup, after barely getting past Cagliari at home on penalties, they ultimately lost to Como. And in Serie A, the focus so far is not on retaining the title, but on securing a place in the top four. Even against Genoa, victory only came in stoppage time.

After the resignations of De Rossi and Juric, Roma was temporarily led out of retirement by Ranieri, who eventually finished just one point behind Juventus in the race for fourth place. On the other hand, they still had to settle for the usual Europa League berth. Under Gasperini, they easily reached the play-offs there. It was in the cup that the grandee was shocked by a defeat to Torino. However, it is clear that Serie A is the main priority, and the team is determined to finally become one of the leaders. In the last round, they beat Cagliari 2-0.

The champions play a pragmatic style: they average only about 1.5 goals scored per game and concede just 0.96 per match. Their capital city opponents are even more conservative: 1.21 goals scored and 0.58 conceded per game.
