&lt;p&gt;Two of the most in-form sides in Serie A Enilive will meet when Roma and Napoli take to the pitch at the Olimpico at 20:45 CET.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ranieri’s men, who are unbeaten in six matches, are hoping for a third consecutive win to stop the league leaders in their tracks and, above all, put themselves in contention for a European spot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli, who have 23 more points than the Giallorossi, have won seven in a row, including their last two matches against Atalanta and Juventus. They want another victory to remain top of the league outright.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD TO HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 Serie A games against Roma (W6 D3) – the Giallorossi`s only win in this run came in&amp;nbsp;December 2023, a 2-0 win via goals from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Romelu Lukaku.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a run of four consecutive home wins against Napoli in Serie A, Roma have won just two of their last eight home league games against the Partenopei, also failing to find the net in three of their most recent four.&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;Although Claudio Ranieri`s Roma are attempting fewer shots per game in Serie A this season than they did under Ivan Juric and Daniele De Rossi combined (12.1 v 15.3), they are scoring more goals per game on average (1.9 v 1.2); Roma are also facing more shots on average (13 v 11.9), but conceding fewer goals (1.1 v 1.4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have averaged the most shots per game in Serie A this season when drawing (15). Furthermore, the Partenopei have won the most games in which they have taken the lead (17, out of 18) and have won the joint-most games after trailing (four, along with Atalanta).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma’s Claudio Ranieri, who against Udinese became the 15th&amp;nbsp;manager in Serie A history to reach 200 wins, also became the first coach in the history of the competition to manage a team in 10+ matches after turning 73. Indeed, none of the players he fielded in the last MD were born on the day of his first game in the competition in September 1990.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Artem Dovbyk has scored in each of his last three Serie A appearances; the last Roma to have found the net in four consecutive games in a season in the competition was Henrikh Mkhitaryan in May 2021. Dovbyk has been involved in the most goals in the last six Serie A matchdays: six (four goals and two assists).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli striker Matteo Politano, who has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last two Serie A appearances (one goal and one assist), has been involved in six goals in the competition against Roma (two goals and four assists), his joint-best against a single opponent in the Italian top-flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be Romelu Lukaku`s 150th&amp;nbsp;Serie A appearance (32 of those with Roma last season), while Lukaku has currently scored 79 goals in the competition. Among players to have made their debut in the three points for a win era, only eight have managed to score more goals in their first 150 games in the Italian top-flight: Gonzalo Higuaín (98), David Trézéguet (94), Andriy Shevchenko (90), Hernán Crespo (88), Diego Milito (86), Vincenzo Montella (85), Ciro Immobile (84) and Cristiano Ronaldo (81).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Mancini, Cristante, Kone, Saelemaekers (Roma); Antonio Conte (Napoli)&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;FABBRI (BINDONI – TEGONI) IV: FELICIANI, VAR: MERAVIGLIA, AVAR: ABISSO&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;Venezia-Roma (Sunday 9 February, 12.30)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli-Udinese (Sunday 9 February, 20.45)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
