The Serie A weekend kicks off on Friday, as there will be an interesting clash between Napoli and Fiorentina. It has been a slightly underwhelming campaign for both sides, but both will be looking to end the season on a high note.
Serie A Preview
Napoli’s title defence has been nothing short of a disaster in Serie A, with the Italian giants in a race for a top half finish at this late stage of the campaign. They come into this round sitting ninth in the standings, but they are just five points above eleventh-place Genoa. This season is one that they will be hoping to forget in a hurry, but preparations are already underway for 2024-25.
Their recent form would be a huge concern ahead of this weekend’s showdown in Florence, as Napoli have gone five matches without a victory. Over that spell, they have suffered two defeats, with three fixtures ending in draws. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 home loss against Bologna. Napoli were incredibly wasteful in the final third of that fixture.
Bet hereThis stage of the season is all about building momentum for Fiorentina, as they have a second straight final in the Europa Conference League to prepare for. The Italian side come into this round sitting eighth in the standings, and they have shown some fine recent winning form after landing victories in three of their last four.
However, it appears unlikely that they will get the favours required to compete for a spot in the top seven, meaning that Fiorentina could use the final weeks of the season to rest their stars ahead of the European final. Their most recent success was a 2-1 victory at home against Monza on Monday evening.
Fiorentina vs Napoli Head to Head
Fiorentina have won two of their last four league matches against Napoli, which includes a 3-1 success in Naples earlier this term. However, they are without a home victory against their rivals since a 3-0 victory in April 2018. That means Napoli are unbeaten in their last five visits to Florence.
Fiorentina vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli’s form is a huge concern ahead of this showdown in Italy, and it looks hard to see them landing maximum points on Friday. For that reason, it could be worth siding with the points being shared for the second season running in Florence.
