In the 13th round of Italy’s Serie A on November 30, 2025, a match will take place between Roma and Napoli. This is a clash between contenders for the championship title.
The Romans had a difficult start to last season, but Ranieri, who temporarily came out of retirement, finished just one point away from fifth place. Nevertheless, his successor, Gasperini, again has to play in the Europa League, where the Italians have shown mixed results. However, they won against Midtjylland on Thursday. In the domestic league, despite some setbacks, the club, which had long struggled to break into the top four, is now aiming for the top spot. They beat Cremonese 3-1 and became sole leaders.
Napoli won their second “scudetto” in two years, and Conte managed to clinch the title right away, having joined in the summer of 2024 and taken over the team in crisis. However, he has also faced enough setbacks that, by November, there were rumors of his resignation after three goalless games. But against Atalanta, they secured a confident 3-1 victory, scoring all goals before halftime. This week, they scored two unanswered goals against Qarabag.
In the capital, Gasperini is unexpectedly deploying a pragmatic style of football, atypical for him: 1.25 goals scored and only 0.5 conceded per game. Højlund and his new teammates look more spectacular: an average of 1.58 goals scored and 0.92 conceded per game.
Roma have won six of their last seven matches
25% of Roma’s matches end with goals from both teams, and the average total goals per match is 1.75
