Source: Il Messaggero – Roma

Napoli host Roma in a big Serie A Matchday 8 fixture, with the match available free on DAZN. Napoli, coached by Allegri, are reeling after a heavy defeat at Venezia, although they have shown signs of recovery following their Champions League win over Bodø/Glimt. They now sit ninth in the table and cannot afford further slips.

Roma, under Gasperini, bounced back well from a bitter defeat to Real Madrid, comfortably beating Genoa in Serie A and Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League. The Giallorossi are keeping pace with Inter, who currently top the table on goal difference... on two points, and they are level at the summit with Lazio, whose start has surprised many, with the Rome rivals sharing top spot with Chivu's side.

The article also covers the probable line-ups and the current Serie A standings ahead of kickoff.

Story Coverage4 sources on this story

Napoli host Roma in Serie A Matchday 8 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday 24 October, kicking off at 18:00. All outlets report that the match is shown live on DAZN, and Il Messaggero and TeleRadioStereo say it is free to watch without a subscription. Napoli, coached by Massimiliano Allegri, come in on a Champions League win over Bodø/Glimt, 4-3, though Il Messaggero says they are ninth after a heavy defeat at Venezia. Roma, under Gian Piero Gasperini, beat Genoa 2-0 and then Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in the Champions League.

Roma's absences are the main concern. Roma News reports that Mike Svilar is out with a micro-fracture to his fifth toe, Manu Koné with a first-degree muscle injury, and Paulo Dybala with a calf tear. Lorenzo Pellegrini left the Slovan game with a right hamstring problem and his fitness is in doubt, so Gollini is expected in goal. Cristante may be in the squad after knee inflammation. Napoli are without Favasuli, Vergara and Alisson Santos, while Buongiorno and Neres are doubtful. Il Messaggero and Roma News differ on Napoli's attack: Il Messaggero names Giovane and McTominay behind Hojlund, while Roma News has Lang and De Bruyne.

The head-to-head record in Campania stands at 90 meetings, with Napoli winning 39, Roma 25 and 26 matches drawn. Roma have not won at the Maradona since 2017/18, when they won 4-2, and the last meeting there, on 15 February 2026, ended 2-2. The prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, has banned ticket sales to residents of the Lazio region.

Pellegrini out for two months as Cristante returns to training ahead of Napoli clash

Lorenzo Pellegrini faces at least two months on the sidelines after tests revealed a high-grade lesion at the distal musculotendinous junction of the semitendinosus in his right thigh, sustained against Slovan Bratislava. Recovery times will be assessed as the clinical picture evolves, but the midfielder could return in the first days of 2027. The setback adds to Roma's injury problems, following those of Svilar, Koné and Dybala. Roma continue preparations for their Serie A clash with Napoli on Saturday at 6pm at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Training took place at Trigoria, and there is positive news from Bryan Cristante, who has returned to regular group work despite visible strapping around his knee. The captain will be available to Gasperini for the match against the Partenopei and could even start from the first minute. Fans of both Napoli and Roma will be able to watch Saturday's match, valid for the eighth round of Serie A, free of charge on DAZN, including non-subscribers. Under the TV rights tender, five matches this season are being broadcast in free mode, and the Maradona fixture is among them. Supporters of both clubs need only log in following the instructions provided by DAZN to access the live stream. With the winter transfer window approaching, Roma have already begun identifying possible reinforcements for Gasperini. According to the English outlet Sport Witness, on Tuesday evening, while Roma beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 at the Olimpico, several Roma scouts were at the Porto against PSV match. The fixture, won 1-0 by the Dutch side, also drew the attention of several Premier League clubs. Under observation are left-winger Esmir Bajraktarević, born 2005, and midfielder Sven Mijnans, born 2000, who had already been followed in the summer. On Rome radio, the Roma-Napoli fixture has been widely discussed. Luigi Ferrajolo told Radio Radio: "The absences of Koné and Dybala are heavy: Koné is the engine of the midfield and Dybala the inspiration. If Cristante can play, he can push Pisilli a bit further forward. Or Mora plays, hoping he wakes up a bit and makes a greater contribution." Alessandro Vocalelli added: "Roma have already passed some tests: not every match can be an exam. It is a stage in a journey in which the team must perform well, because it can help distance a direct Champions League rival. Physically he seems to be better, but Napoli have resources that make the match anything but simple."
