Napoli v Roma in 11 numbers

0

Luciano Spalletti has never lost to Napoli in either of his spells as Roma coach. The Tuscan has met the Partenopei on seven occasions in the past in all competitions and his record reads as follows: five wins, two draws, 16 for and six against. What's more, Spalletti has a 100% record at the Stadio San Paolo. He has three victories from as many trips south - all with clean sheets: a 3-0 success in the 2005 Coppa Italia plus wins in 2008 (2-0) and 2009 (3-0).

Dino Da Costa's eight goals in this fixture make him Roma's all-time leading marksman in matches against Napoli in all competitions. Francesco Totti is just one behind the Brazilian centre forward, while Amedeo Amadei and Pedro Manfredini both struck half a dozen against the Azzurri.

Roma have scored a league high 11 goals in the second halves of matches this season.
