The 13th round of Italian Serie A will last for four days and has already started with "Como's" 2-0 victory over "Sassuolo".
Idman.Biz reports that the main match of the tour will be the "Roma" - "Napoli" duel, which will take place in Rome. After that, in terms of importance, comes the game "Milan" - "Lazio", "Inter's" visit to "Pisa", as well as the meeting between "Atalanta" - "Fiorentina".
"Roma" - "Napoli"
"Roma" comes to the most important match of the tour as the leader: 27 points after 12 games. "Napoli", together with "Milan", shares the second-third places (25 points each). The top of the tournament table is as tight as possible - only three points separate the top five.
Can Piero Gasperini's team gains an advantage primarily through proper organization: only 6 goals conceded (the best indicator in the league), but at the same time 15 goals scored (the lowest indicator among title contenders). It is also noteworthy that the Roma club has not yet had a draw in the championship.
The teams come to the game on a high emotional background. "Roma" took the lead last week with a 3:1 victory over "Cremonese", and Evan Ferguson ended his long goalless streak. "Napoli" returned to the winning rhythm after a series of two unsuccessful matches. The Neapolitans first defeated "Atalanta", and then "Qarabag" of Agdam 2:0 in the Champions League.
The personnel situation also affects the scene of the match. Artyom Dovbik is injured in "Roma", and Ancelino's recovery period is not determined. However, according to the club's medical information, Manu Kone and Al Aynaui escaped serious injury and may be ready for the meeting. "Napoli" has more losses: François Angissa and Kevin De Bruyne are out, and the return period of Alex Meret and Romelu Lukaku is still unknown.
The leader in Serie A changes almost every round, and it is not excluded that the same will happen in the 13th round.
