Napoli have been on a positive streak in home matches against Roma for 5 years: 3 wins and 2 draws.
The last 2 mark on the betting slip is represented by the 2-4 in the 27th round of 2017-2018. The trend of the scorers in this last match is curious, because the first and last were players in the blue shirt: Insigne in the 6th minute, Under in the 7th minute, Dzeko in the 26th and 73rd minutes, Perotti in the 79th minute, Mertens in the 92nd minute.
From the 76 matches played we find 34 victories for Napoli, 23 draws, 19 successes for Roma.
Strangely, however, there is only one match in the month of April in this new millennium: on 18 April 2022, it ended 1-1.
Perhaps the most curious element of all, however, concerns the penalties awarded. In the last 10 derby del Sole played in Naples we only find 1. And again we come across the Napoli-Roma match on 18 April 2022 and the penalty was in favor of the home team.
