The big match for this week is Napoli vs As Roma, Napoli are favored not only because they will be playing at home but also because they have more strength than their opponents this time, Napoli managed to humiliate Juventus with big scores so Roma if they are not ready and have the right strategy could experience the same thing and this will end up being a match that is no longer considered a big match because Napoli is far superior and fortunately Napoli has not shown a decline in performance so far.
Napoli have 50 points after 19 matches and they are one of two best clubs in Europe together with Arsenal. It's hardly to believe that Napoli can earn 100 points in this season that is so impressive. A match with Roma is a first one for a second part of season and they will try best to win it.
AS Roma are in a race with AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio, Atalanta and they have only 3 points difference from AC Milan to Atalanta. From AC Milan 38 points to Atalanta 35 points and three other clubs with same 37 points (Inter Milan, Lazio and Roma), Roma will have chance to claim a second position if they can win against Napoli.
In terms of game performance, of course Napoli is superior and will be the favorite in this match. But As Roma has a pretty good game at the moment. Roma have been very consistent in the second half of the season.
Roma are improving and they are not an easy team to beat with Mourinho. Their coach rejected chances to be a coach for Portugal and Brazil. He demonstrated his full focus for AS Roma and his contract will expire in 2024, one more season for Roma with Mourinho.
I don't think Napoli will get an easy win against Roma and I wish to see Roma win it. If Napoli fail, it might not change anything for Scudetto race but with Roma, it is so important to race with 4 other clubs.
