Napoli Hosts Roma in Crucial Serie A Clash as Claudio Ranieri Returns to the Giallorossi

The highly anticipated Serie A match between Napoli and Roma is set to take place on Sunday, November 24, at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples, Italy. This encounter marks the return of Claudio Ranieri to the Roma dugout for his third stint with the club, following the departure of Ivan Juric after Roma’s fifth league defeat of the season against Bologna.

Napoli, currently leading the Serie A standings, will be looking to bounce back from a two-game winless run. Antonio Conte‘s side suffered a 0-3 defeat to Atalanta and a 1-1 draw with Inter in their last two matches. The Partenopei are expected to field a strong lineup, including Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay, who recently played for Scotland in a 2-1 win over Poland.

Roma, sitting in 12th position, are in a period of transition under Ranieri. The Italian tactician is expected to switch to a four-man defense, with Gianluca Mancini and Evan N’dicka as centre-backs. However, key players like Paulo Dybala, Alexis Saelemaekers, Mario Hermoso, and Eldor Shomurodov are either not fully fit or unavailable for the match.

The match is predicted to be closely contested, with Napoli favored to win due to their current form and home advantage. Sports Mole predicts a 1-0 victory for Napoli, citing Roma’s current disarray and Napoli’s well-oiled machine under Conte.

In the United States, the match will be available to watch and stream online live through Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Paramount+, and FOX Deportes. For international viewers, options include TNT Sports 2 in the UK, OneFootball, and beIN SPORTS CONNECT in Australia and New Zealand.
