Napoli, after the grand success of the previous season where they managed to secure the championship title, has noticeably slowed down in the current season, despite retaining almost all key players. In the first round, the Neapolitans experienced several unsuccessful stretches and didn’t even participate in the title race “Inter” and “Juventus” quickly took the lead, while Napoli continued to make mistakes. As a result, even after changing several coaches, “Napoli” failed to significantly improve and currently occupies only the eighth position in the table. The chances of catching up with the fifth-placed “Roma” are frankly slim; the “Wolves” are ahead by nine points, and Napoli trails the seventh-placed “Lazio” by three points. Losing sensationally 0-1 to “Empoli” in the last round, “Napoli” suffered their 10th defeat of the season.
Roma approached the start of the championship as a clear contender for a place in the Champions League the “Wolves” strengthened during the summer and were perfectly capable of competing with opponents in this battle. The season started poorly, and the situation couldn’t be stabilized during the first round, leading to the logical resignation of Jose Mourinho. Taking over a team in a less than ideal condition, Daniele De Rossi managed to quickly rally the team, and “Roma” began consistently collecting points. As a result, the Romans currently occupy the fifth place in the table, which allows them to play in the Champions League, leading sixth-placed “Atalanta” by four points, although Atalanta has a game in hand. During the week, “Roma” finished the interrupted match against “Udinese” and managed to defeat the “Zebras” 2-1 at their home ground.
