Fourth place Napoli play away against AS Roma 8:45 GMT on Saturday in what promises to
be a exciting and explosive fixture. Both teams are looking for all 3 point. as
the hosts are looking to turn their season around with one final push for
the final for the Champions league spot. The revenue generated from the elite competition
is vital for competing with rivals in the transfer market, as well as covering expenses
for youth clubs and ensuring stable growth. Roma coach Jose Enrique has been
under serious pressure lately as the gilarossi have not performed very well
this season. Managing only 4 wins in their last 16 games. The former Barcelona
striker will surely look at the champions league qualification as a guarantee
of remaining employed in the club.
Napoli are not a good away rune managing only 2 wins in the last 5
away games in serie A. wining the last one against Serie B bound Lecce. sitting
4th on the standings table with 54 points they are trailing third place Lazio
by one point are 20 points behind first place Juventus, any chances of them
wining the league this season are virtually impossible, so they look to cement
their place at top of the table, in order to qualify for the elite European competition,
this will help the azzuri keep their Star players as well as to attract players
of high caliber for the next seasons campaign. out of the last 9 games the two
clubs have met Roma hold an advantage of 4 wins against Napoli’s 2 .the last
time the two clubs met in the reverser fixture ,Roma took home all three point
with 1- 3 score line.
The Azzuri Manager Walter Mazzari tried to keep his teams head level as he dismissed the sugession tht his teams were favorites to win ,the Italian had the follwing to say about the Fixture :
"Are we favourites (for the third and final Champions League qualification spot)? Not at this moment, we are one point behind Lazio. From the start of the season we have gone from sure-things to outsiders, back and forth depending on results."
Uruguan Striker Edinson Cavani will look to get on the score sheet in order to close the gap on Zlatan Ibrahimovic , he is curently trailing the swiss in the Seria top scoreres chart by 3 goals , and with the season coming to an end ,he will need to make the most out of every game.

Probable Line Ups
to win Roma need to keep , cavani ,and co quiet and try to feed young striker who posess excellent finishing skills on the oposite side of the field ,they will try to go round the Center of the field of Napoli , as they have in their ranks great wing back who can bomb forward and cross the ball in for onrushing player to hit.
look out for Miriam Pjanic's great skill on the ball , and clever trough passes from the midfielder as he will try to create scoring opportunities for the front men.
Napoli will rely on the creativity of Marek Hamsik and the tricky of Lavezzi on the wing, as Edison Cavani will look to score at every opportunity as the Uruguay internationals immaculate off the ball runs will open up space for attacking players look out for Lavezzi;s messiesque runs to provide with entertaining moments during the game . also Gokhan Inler is likely to try and have a go at the Roma Keeper from long range if his given the space to do so.
Final Verdict
the game will be played at the center of the field and on paper Napoli have more able player on that part of the pitch.also with Lavezzi's trickery and Roma's leaky defense an the addition of missing star player Di Ross i . i m going with Napoli gaining all three points in this fixture .
