&lt;p&gt;An unmissable match at the Stadio Olimpico: Roma, the surprise league leaders in this Serie A season, host Napoli, who sit just two points behind. Gasperini’s men, despite losing to both Milan clubs, are dreaming of three points to try and extend their lead. Antonio Conte, however, has other plans: a Napoli win would see his side move ahead of Roma and claim first place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been 88 official encounters between the two sides in Rome with a record of 41 home victories (the last 2-0 in Serie A 2023/24), 32 draws (the last 1-1 in last season`s Serie A) and 15 Napoli wins (the last 0-1, in Serie A 2022/23).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have the best defence in Serie A 2025/26 with only 6 goals conceded in 12 matchdays. The last team to do better was Napoli 2021/22, with 4 goals conceded in the same period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma are sole league leaders after 12 matchdays. This hasn`t happened since the 2013/14 season when they led with 32 points, manager Rudi Garcia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli are the team with the most penalties awarded against them in Serie A 2025/26 after 12 matchdays, 4, like Fiorentina, Udinese and Milan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli come from 5 defeats in their last 6 official away matches: the only positive result was the 1-0 victory in Lecce, in the league, on October 28. In the 5 defeats, Napoli conceded 13 goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COACHES and PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Between Gian Piero Gasperini and Antonio Conte, eleventh official encounter: the Azzurri manager leads 6-2 with 2 draws to complete the record.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Gasperini (Roma)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MASSA (MELI – ALASSIO) IV: PAIRETTO, VAR: AURELIANO, AVAR: DI BELLO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cagliari-Roma (Sunday, December 7, 15.00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli-Juventus (Sunday, December 7, 20.45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
