Napoli will not repeat the mistakes of last season, they have learned a lot from failure by showing better performances this season. Napoli are still very consistent in Serie A, they will not waste the opportunity to win the Scudetto that has been a dream for a long time. This season is the best opportunity for Napoli when viewed from its performance, the match against Roma is a test that Napoli must pass. They must not drop points at the Olimpico if they want to continue to be at the top of the table.
last season Napoli also performed well at the start of the season. but their performance declines during the second half of the season. I just hope Napoli learns well from their mistakes and can keep the consistency of their good game. because the season is still quite long, not to mention there will be a break this season regarding the world cup. of course many possibilities will make the team's performance change.
Also, at the same time the teams that usually compete at the top at this moment are not at their best, and Napoli have only one competitor who is also unbeaten so far and that is Atalanta. If these two teams can keep up the good work then of course they have a great chance of getting the Scudetto this season, but the one who has the better chance I think is Atalanta. Because this season Atalanta are not playing in European tournaments because last season Atalanta only finished in 8th place, with only focus on Serie A then I think Atalanta have a bigger chance to be consistent throughout this season.
Bookmakers evaluate the chances of teams as follows:
2.90 - 3.50 - 2.38
I think it's fair that Napoli is the favorite (how could it be otherwise with such a phenomenal scoring game), but 2.9 for a Roma win looks tempting. It seems to me that Roma should win more often in such games than 35%. There are no guarantees, but in terms of distance, I think it's profitable to bet on Roma.
With odds like that I assume there is no favourite, and betting on any team will still give us a good advantage because the odds are almost the same. But for me considering the odds like that, then I will still bet on the team that is in their best form so far because they are unbeaten. Because to be honest Napoli in my view is a team that continues to improve from season to season even though they are, they are rarely in the title contenders as it will be easy to shake when the end of the season approaches. But because this is still part of the start of the season and Napoli will certainly try to maintain their good trend, therefore I really believe Napoli will still be able to win in this match.
Maybe I'm biased, but my opinion is "pressed" by the status of Mourinho, who is the killer of favorites. Roma has two defeats this season and both are not from weak teams, a victory over Inter and a draw with Juventus. Napoli's performance is incomparably better, but in Serie A they have only one "big" match (and victory) with Milan. All in all I see no reason why odds of 2.9 are bad.
Inter and Juventus are in a bad situation and Roma can take this opportunity to keep getting points, but if you see how Roma got two defeats then I have to admit that Roma lost by a team that was on fire. Roma lost by Udinese and Atalanta and as such, I still believe Roma still don't have the ability to beat a team that is in its best form. Not only that, not only are Napoli unbeaten in Serie A, but Napoli can also get a perfect result in the group stage in the Champions League at this moment and means Napoli still have a better chance than Roma.
