Napoli will be looking to avenge the painful exit from the Copa Italia in midweek on Saturday night when face AS Roma away from home. Both sides have been very much inconsistent this season.

The hosts secured qualification from Group G of the Europa League, but things are not going according to plan domestically. José Mourinho's side travelled to Bologna last weekend looking to get back to winning ways after managing to pickup just one point in their previous league game with Fiorentina. The Yellow and Reds suffered a 0-2 defeat and now face huge pressure ahead of Tuesday's game to avoid going without a win in three consecutive games for the second time this season.

There was always the question whether Napoli would be able to defend their Serie A title, and time has proven that this is unlikely. The Gli Azzuri are currently fourteen points off the top of the table and have won just two of their last five league games. To add salt to the wound, Walter Mazzarri's men suffered a 0-4 home defeat to newcomers Frosinone in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia in midweek.
