Serie A leaders Napoli will be looking to give their title credentials a major boost when they travel to the Stadio Olimpico to take on Roma on Friday.
Top of the league with seven wins from the opening seven games, the Partenopei are priced at 137/100 (2.37) with BetSafe to maintain their 100 per cent record in the Italian capital.
However, Eusebio Di Francesco's team have won five consecutive matches in all competitions, and are on offer at 39/20 (2.95) to make it six in a row with a big victory here.

After finishing in the top three in four of the last five season, there is a real feeling that Maurizio Sarri’s men could finally be ready to win their first Scudetto since 1990 this year.
With seven wins and 25 goals to their name from the opening seven games, the Neapolitans have simply blown away all the opposition so far this campaign.
However, Friday’s clash will provide probably the biggest test of their mettle so far, as they travel to a ground where they have come away empty-handed from five of the last six visits.
Averaging over 2.5 goals a game at the Stadio Olimpico since the beginning of last season, the Giallorossi are one of the few teams capable of matching their guests’ formidable firepower thanks to Ballon d'Or nominee Edin Dzeko netting 29 times last term.
With a closely-fought encounter therefore appearing inevitable, the only safe prediction is that goals will not be in short supply considering both teams’ attacking quality.
All in all, odds of 33/25 (2.32) surely offer solid value on over 3.5 goals being scored for Napoli’s 10th league game in 12, as well as a sixth in seven home matches for Roma.
