On
Saturday evening, just after finishing of the match Juventus-Lazio in
Turin at the main arena Stadio Olimpico will start the super battle
of Roma and Napoli. Having taken the advantage of Juventus’ failure
that happened during the previous away match against Atalanta (2:2)
Napoli became the only leader of the champions’ race.
And
now Napoli has 21 points and 7 winnings in a row over Verona,
Atalanta, Bologna, Benevento, Lazio, SPAL, Cagliari with the total
score – 25:5.
Napoli:
(the head coach Maurizio Sarri)
On
the 17th-18th
of October all participants of the group stage of the UEFA Champions
League will held their matches of the third round. Azzurri is facing
very difficult away match against Manchester City. And, of course,
now all are worried because of the psychological state of the captain
of team Marek Hamšík. As the Slovakian playmaker wanted so much to
take part in the forthcoming World Cup Russia 2018. But his national
team takes only the last 9 line.
Roma
(the head coach Eusebio Di Francesco)
According
to the most wonderful calendar plan, just after the match against
Napoli Roma is also going to England but not to Manchester, it goes
to London to meet with Chelsea.
That
is why, we don’t think that now the team of Eusebio Di Francesco is
more ahead of the game than its nearest opponent. But still, Roma is
playing at its home arena and bearing in mind the equality of the
level and class game of the opponents this factor is extremely
important:
