Fiorentina vs Napoli Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 06/02/2019, 13:59  by Daniel Ngulu in Serie A Predictions

As for Napoli, the closest challengers to Juventus, the ambition is clearly to try and mount a serious challenge for the title later in the season, when fatigue checks in at Juventus. They will be hoping for a win here to fuel their ambitions. At the same time, the title seems to be too far for Fiorentina and they will only vie for a place in one of the European slots on offer. Each of the sides has picked a loss from the last six matches with Fiorentina unbeaten in the process while Napoli have one loss in the run. Napoli recovered from their Coppa Italia loss to Milan with a resounding 3 – 0 win over Sampdoria and meeting a Fiorentina side that has been scoring a lot gives us a guarantee of goals. In the last five matches Fiorentina have scored a total of 17 goals, but they have no clean sheet in the process and they should aim at changing this, with Napoli coming with a fine goal scoring run, being the third best scorers in the league. Fiorentina are not very strong at home; they have just one win in the last six Serie A matches at home and without a clean sheet in the process. Napoli too have not done so well away from home; they have picked just one win in their last five away matches but in Serie A alone, they have four wins in their last six away matches. They have however not won any of the last two away league matches. In the last five meetings, Napoli have picked three wins and Fiorentina one, while head to head, in 37 meetings Fiorentina have 12 wins and Napoli 15.
