The hosts, Napoli, were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Como on penalties on Tuesday and won two and lost two in their four games prior to that.

Roma were already out of the Coppa Italia, having been defeated by a Che Adams-inspired Torino in January and were on Serie A duty on Monday, beating Cagliari. A loss away to Udinese the week before is their only defeat in their last five.
