Napoli can not expect any pleasantries from their host Fiorentina in this Serie A game. Here's our full preview!

Insights:
  • Napoli have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

Fiorentina have less rest than Napoli in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie A game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Cagliari, so at least Fiorentina are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Fiorentina are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Napoli are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Fiorentina form and stats

Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Fiorentina are 6-6-6 (wins-draw-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Fiorentina, as their goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski has completely shut out the opponents for 186 minutes in the Serie A.

Fiorentina travelled for their previous game, a trip to Cagliari that ended 0-0. Midfield player Cristiano Biraghi got a match rating of 7.31 in that game, the max score being 10. Biraghi dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Lazio.

The Fiorentina fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 18 matches. 23 goals have been conceded.

Napoli form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Napoli have produced an overall stat of 11-1-6 so far. Having won their last three away games Napoli has no reason to fear anyone.

Napoli won their last game, 5-1 versus Udinese played at home. Lorenzo Insigne got a match rating of 9.02 in that game, top player of the team. Insigne scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 59 successful passes (of 70 total). As mentioned above, Napoli was the only team on the pitch versus Udinese in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Before that one, a nice away victory 4-1 at Spezia.

Napoli has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 34 goals from 18 games. As opposed to that, Napoli have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Napoli - Fiorentina 6-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Fiorentina, three draws and five wins for Napoli. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
