This Sunday, October 22, at the Olympic Stadium, Roma and Napoli will face each other in the framework of matchday 11 of Serie A in Italy. It will be a great match that promises emotions, as winning will be vital for both clubs in dispute and that come together.
On the side of the team led by José Mourinho, things are going well in the local league, because they have not known what the word defeat means for three matchdays, and have even triumphed against important teams like Inter Milan.
Right now, the Sons of the She-Wolf occupy the fourth place in the standings with 22 points, and if they win, they would be only one point behind their rival, who leads in the transalpine competition with 26 points after 10 matches, and playing well.
On the other hand, Luciano Spalletti's team has been firm in the first 10 matches of Italian football and, in fact, is riding comfortably in the international tournament. It seems that they don't like the word defeat, as along with Atalanta, they are the only undefeated teams in the tournament.
Summing up will be key for them, as for now, the only team that follows them closely and could surpass them is Atalanta, Bergamo's team with 24 points, and if they win their pending match, they will surpass them with 27 points. Milan has already played and is also on 26 points, but loses the place due to goal difference.
