Napoli v Roma: Allegri’s doubters meet Gasperini’s believers
23.10.26, 10:14 6 Minute Read
Some fixtures are big because of what is at stake in May. Napoli v Roma on Saturday is big because of what it says about October.
At the Maradona, kick-off 6pm in Italy and 5pm UK time, two clubs that finished second and third last season meet heading in opposite directions. Roma, under Gian Piero Gasperini, arrive unbeaten in Serie A, third in the table and seven points clear of their hosts. Napoli, under Massimiliano Allegri, are ninth, still searching for consistency, and only four days removed from a Champions League win that may or may not mark a turning point.
This is the game of the Serie A weekend, and it is a story of two coaches, two projects and two very different moods.
