Napoli vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 06/10/2023, 12:52  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

With only goal difference separating them, Napoli and Fiorentina are likely to give it their all in this crucial Serie A match. This matchday eighth fixture will be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday with the hosts third and the visitors fifth, having the same number of 14 points. Napoli have won four and drawn two of their matches, while losing only once in Serie A this season. The hosts are coming off a tough 3-2 loss to Real Madrid in the midweek Champions League match. That has halted a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions where they won three and drawn two. It’s a different story in the league though, with the defending Champions struggling to assert their supremacy. They have failed to win three of their last five league games, although both the wins have come in a row prior to this round.

Fiorentina are coming off a 2-2 draw against Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa Conference League that made it two draws in two games in that competition. The visitors, however, have extended their unbeaten run with that result. They are now unbeaten in six competitive matches, winning and drawing three each. Their form in the league is even better, with three wins and one draw across their last four Serie A matches. They have also avoided defeat in three of their four away games this league campaign, with the only loss coming at San Siro against Inter Milan. The visitors will be worried about their recent record against Napoli though, having won just one of their last six Serie A matches against them – drawing once and losing four.
