Roma has bounced back from a loss against Real Madrid by defeating Genoa and Slovan Bratislava, restoring their confidence and upward trajectory. The team is now facing Napoli, a historical nemesis. Napoli has struggled, earning only 10 points from their first seven matches under Max Allegri. Roma's recent recovery has put them in a favorable position.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma is facing Napoli at a time when they are struggling. Napoli has not performed well under Max Allegri, failing to replicate their past successes. Roma has had difficulties at the Stadio Maradona in recent seasons. The current situation suggests that Roma might have a chance to break their losing streak at this venue.
The match between Roma and Napoli is not expected to be easy, but the conditions are favorable for Roma. Napoli's current form is not strong, having earned only 10 points from their first seven matches. If Roma is to break their hex at the Stadio Maradona, the current situation presents an opportunity. The source notes that today's match could be the day for Roma to achieve this.

Source context
In years past, bottling a two-goal lead against Real Madrid in the Champions League would send Roma spiraling into a morass of self-loathing and incrimination while fans burned effigies outside of Trigoria. However, after tossing away three valuable CL points, Roma has responded with aplomb, dispatching Genoa and Slovan Bratislava in short order, restoring their confidence and upward trajectory in one fell swoop. Roma can take their post-Madrid recovery another step further today with a win over their historical southern nemesis, the Partenopei of Napoli. Despite repeatedly failing at the Stadio Maradona over the past several seasons (if not more), Gian Piero Gasperini’s group are catching Napoli at an inopportune time.
