Betting Tips for Today: Thrilling game in store as Roma host Napoli

Such is the domination of reigning champions Juventus, anyone other than the Old Lady scooping this season's Scudetto has always looked unlikely, especially following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Napoli are the best of the rest though, and their trip to Roma on Sunday should be an entertaining affair.

The hosts, now under the stewardship of Claudio Ranieri, can be backed at 2/1 (3.0) to secure all three points at 888Sport.

Carlo Ancelotti's men are available at 5/4 (2.25) and a second consecutive draw between the sides is a 12/5 (3.40) chance with the same firm.

The best angle here looks to be backing goals. These teams are tied for the third most potent attack in the Italian top-flight so far with 52 goals apiece from 28 games.

However, Roma have conceded 39 times in the same period and have only kept a clean sheet in five of those outings. What's more, only one of those instances came at home.

Both teams to score is just 4/7 (1.67) but backing over 2.5 goals adds a little more juice to the potential return at 3/4 (1.75). That looks well worthy of support based on how this season has gone for the hosts.

Roma v Napoli Betting Preview

This selection has paid out in 85 per cent of Roma's home league games this season and Napoli have seen the bet land in eight of their 13 away matches in Serie A.

Those wanting a bigger price should turn their attention to the Asian goal line of 3 at 13/10 (2.30) with 888Sport.

This sees stakes returned if there are exactly three goals scored in the match while still offering a tasty potential pay-out on four or more.

Nine of Roma's league games at this venue have seen at least four strikes so backing another high-scoring clash as they host one of the most potent attacks in the league makes plenty of appeal.
