A tough opponent will indeed be faced by coach Jose Mourinho's squad in an effort to maintain the position of the Champions League zone. AS Roma has just moved up to fourth in the standings after winning at Sampdoria headquarters. This is the real test of The Special One squad, when facing tough opponents. The reason, Napoli are in their best moment when the game is without defeat.
In addition, peeking head to head AS Roma vs Napoli, the hosts always find it difficult to win. Of the last five matches, AS Roma won three defeats and two of them ended in a draw. Jose Mourinho would have to develop a special strategy to reduce the ferocity of Luciano Spaletti's squad.
Most likely, Mourinho will play his favorite strategy from defense and hope for counterattacks. How much this can work against Napoli's aggressive attack is difficult to say, but Roma is not an easy opponent and Spalletti understands this. Napoli will dominate and in this match everything will depend on how well the Napoli players can cope with the defense of Roma, which, as we have already seen, is not as good as it might have seemed from the beginning of the season.
