The battle for European qualification in Serie A witnesses an interesting match as Fiorentina play host to Napoli. This matchday 37 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi will see the hosts start eighth with 53 points from 35 matches, while the visitors are ninth with 51 points from 36 matches. Fiorentina are coming off a 2-1 win over Monza, which has consolidated their push for a finish in the European places. A win here over direct rival Napoli will confirm their top-eight finish, although they can still qualify for Europe through the Conference League, where they are in the final. Their recent form suggests Fiorentina are likely to push for a win here, as they won three of their last five competitive matches. It gets better at this venue, where Fiorentina have won five of their last six competitive matches, including four in a row.

Napoli’s push for European qualification has gone spiraling downward as they race against time. The visitors are without a win in five league games, drawing three and losing two. That includes a 2-0 loss to Bologna last time out, which meant they have won just one of their last ten competitive matches. The loss of form couldn’t have come at a worse time, as the champions from last year are now facing a year of wilderness entirely outside of Europe. Their away form is equally poor, as Napoli have won only two of their last 13 competitive trips. That included seven losses and four draws. Both those wins have come in the league, but Napoli have failed to win nine of their last 11 away league games.
