Serie A Standing AFTER the game:

AS Roma, 4th position with 29 points and a positive goal difference of +12
| Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | Goals | DIFF | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Napoli | 16 | 9 | 5 | 2 | 28:12 | 16 | 32 |
| 4 | Roma | 16 | 8 | 5 | 3 | 30:18 | 12 | 29 |
A goalless draw not helping at all. Napoli unable to win the home game at the San Paolo Stadium while AS Roma failing to grab the victory to climb the Serie A table towards the top position. Napoli and Roma are still battling to win the Scudetto, but for the moment the leadership is for Inter having 36 points.
It seems AS Roma forgot how to win games because the last 3 games have ended with draws. It’s a pity for the Roman gladiators seeing their chances to reach to the first position in danger as they are now in the 4th posotion with 29 points. Roma are -7 points below Inter.
Here is NAPOLI official starting lineup by coach Maurizio Sarri:
NAPOLI (4-3-3): Reina, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam, Allan, Jorginho, Harmsik, Callejon, Higuain, Insigne.
Here is AS ROMA official starting lineup by coach Rudi Garcia:
AS ROMA (4-3-3): Szczesny, Florenzi, Manolas, Rudiger, Digne, Pjanic, De Rossi, Nainggolan, Salah, Dzeko, Falque.
