Quotes
“I don’t know. It’s tough. Analysts say we’ll have some difficult matches ahead and then some easier ones. But what are the easy matches?" Roma manager Claudio Ranieri said after being asked whether his side will secure a top-six finish.
"The ones against Venezia, Como or Parma? Teams that press you, attack you and counter effectively? There are no easy matches anymore, especially in the second half of the season, which is practically a different league altogether.
"Every match needs to be approached step by step, regardless of the opponents, giving equal respect to all. That’s the challenge Roma will face. We can’t say, ‘Oh, we’re playing Milan or Napoli, so those are the big games and the others aren’t.’ Every game is tough and every team will make things difficult for us.”
Head-to-Head
Napoli claimed a 1-0 win over Roma in their last league meeting on 24 November at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
As a result, the Little Donkeys are undefeated in their last two matches in Serie A against the Yellow and Reds having recorded one win and one draw.
