AS Roma vs Napoli - Italian Serie A
Match date: 19 May 2013 - Kick Off Time: 18:45 GMT
Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Italy 

 Referee:‬ L. Banti‎ 

 Napoli visits the Italian capital for a final show-down with their eternal rivals Roma. With the two teams in a nothing-to-lose stage, one can expect an entertaining match. This will be largely a fight between the strikers of both the teams. These are the two teams that have played a consistently attacking brand of football right from the start. Moreover, the pedigree of the strikers on both sides is such that one goal could open the floodgates.

 Roma go into the game with a chance of 6^th but seem to have all their eggs in one basket and are resting players for next week’s Coppa Italia. Despite playing one of their most fierce rivals and with a real need to take a win and try and finish above Lazio.  Roma have been in decent form with 4 wins, 3 draws and just 1 defeat. Roma are currently in 7^th with 17 wins, 8 draws and 12 defeats. If Lazio slip up in their game at Cagliari they can be overtaken if Roma win. Francesco Totti is suspended, while Daniele De Rossi, Vasilis Torosidis , Leandro Castan, Federico Balzaretti, Michael Bradley, Pablo Osvaldo and Marquinhos will all drop to the bench.

Napoli have won 8 of their last 9 matches in Serie A, 5 of their last 5. They scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 games and there have been over 2.5 goals scored in their last 5 Serie A fixtures. On the other side, Roma collected 8 under 2.5 goals in their last 10 games in Serie A. They didn't concede in three of their last four games. Indeed, they had kept only three clean sheets in 22 league games under Zeman.

 ROMA (4-3-3): Lobont; Piris, Burdisso, Castan, Torosidis; De Rossi, Bradley, Florenzi; Lamela, Marquinho; Destro
