Roma v Napoli head to head record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roma and Napoli have faced each other 88 times in Rome, with the record standing at 41 wins for the hosts (the last of which was a 2-0 triumph in the 2023\/24 season), 32 draws (the last of which was a 1-1 in 2024\/25), and 15 Napoli wins (the last coming in the 2022\/23 season, a 1-0 win).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the three points for a win era (since 1994\/95), the top scorer in Roma v Napoli matches at the Olimpico is Dries Mertens (six goals), followed by Edison Cavani, Marco Delvecchio and Francesco Totti with four each. Abel Balbo and Miralem Pjanic have scored three goals apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Match analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roma have the best defence in Serie A 2025\/26, conceding only six goals in 12 matches. The last team to do better was Napoli back in 2021\/22, conceding four goals over the same number of games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roma are the league leaders after 12 matchdays. This hasn’t happened since the 2013\/14 season, when they led with 32 points under coach Rudi Garcia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napoli have conceded the most penalties in Serie A this season after 12 matches: four, tied with Fiorentina, Udinese and Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 11th<\/sup> competitive match between Gian Piero Gasperini and Antonio Conte: the Napoli coach has the edge, winning six of these games, with Gasperini winning two and the rest ending in draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matias Soule is one of the five most substituted players in Serie A so far this campaign: he has been hauled off ten times, along with Adrian Bernabe (Parma), Nikola Viasic and Giovanni Simeone (Torino), and Sebastiano Esposito (Cagliari).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davide\u00a0Massa<\/strong>\u00a0has been appointed to referee the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
