Tomorrow evening at the Olimpico three important points are up for grabs to fly high: 2 at 2,50
Rome – Naples, Champions League area wanted, at least that one. Yes, especially for the guests, reigning Italian champions, it is a championship far from the expectations at the start of the season. Out of the fight for the Scudetto, also out of the Italian Cup, due to the four slaps received by Frosinone, Mazzarri's team is now aiming for the Champions League zone to alleviate a negative season so far. But on his path he will find Mourinho's Giallorossi, who fell to eighth place in the standings due to the defeat suffered against the surprising Bologna and are more than motivated to make the best of themselves in the last match of the year at the Olimpico. The calendar of the seventeenth day will see them face to face in the postponement scheduled for tomorrow evening at 20pm.
Napoli are ahead in the standings with twenty-seven points under their belt and have just returned to the championship from a narrow home win against Cagliari, after two missteps against Inter and Juventus. Roma, on the other hand, have twenty-five points, having only drawn a draw in their last two league games, achieved in their last home match against Fiorentina, after the away success against Sassuolo. It will be the 175th time that they will face each other, adding together the Serie A, Italian Cup and National Division matches. It is the Giallorossi who have done best with 65 wins, 56 draws and 53 victories for the Campania team thanks to the 227 goals scored and the 196 conceded. Last season, both the first leg and the second leg were the Azzurri who prevailed: in the capital on 23 October last year thanks to a goal from Osimhen and against Maradona this year on 29 January for 2 to 1, Osimhen again in 17th , El Shaarawy's momentary equalizer in the 30th minute and Simeone's match goal in the 84th minute.
Good news for Mourinho who will once again have access to Lukaku (in the photo) and Zalewski, after the disqualification round, who will return to act, the first in attack and the second in the left lane. Llorente will be the central defender, in front of Rui Patricio's goal, flanked on the right by Mancini, or Celik if he doesn't make it, and N'Dicka on the left. Kristensen and Zalewski, or Spinazzola, will man the wings while in midfield Pellegrini, in the control room, will act with Cristante and Paredes.
Mazzarri, on the other hand, will be able to send the best team onto the field having recovered Anguissa and Zielinski. In goal Meret will feature again and the two central defenders Rrahmani and Natan, with Di Lorenzo on the right and Mario Rui on the left. In midfield Lobotka will inspire the game behind the trident Politano, Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia.
The comparison, which historically has always been deeply felt by the two circles, this time is almost triple for the BetFlag betting analysts who propose the yellow-red 1 high at 2,98, not far from the 2 at 2,50 and with the 'X which multiplies by 3,20. Osimhen is at the top of the ranking of the possible scorer of the first or last goal of the match at 5,75, followed by Lukaku at 6,75, Dybala at 8,25, Belotti, Simeone and Abraham at 9, Raspadori at 9,50, Kvaratskhelia at 9,75 and then all the others.
