LIVE – Roma 0-1 Napoli: Neres puts the visitors ahead | OneFootball

This evening at the Olimpico, Antonio Conte’s Napoli will visit Giampiero Gasperini’s Roma in a match with a Scudetto flavor. Whoever wins goes to the top. The coach from Lecce decides not to change the eleven who took the field Tuesday night against Qarabag. Trust is again placed in Lang and Neres on the wings. Gasp, on the other hand, in the absence of Dybala and Dovbyk, relies on Ferguson after his first goal in yellow and red against Cremonese.
