Match Analysis

Napoli's recent performances have been a mixed bag, showing resilience with a win against Sassuolo but also slipping to a loss against Juventus and a draw with Parma. Scoring has been a slight concern, averaging 1.6 goals per game over the last five matches, but their defensive solidity, conceding only 0.8 goals on average, could prove crucial. With two clean sheets in their recent outings, Napoli's defensive organization will be key against Fiorentina. Fiorentina, on the other hand, has been struggling with consistency. Their recent form includes a win against Bologna, a draw with Milan, and a home loss to Cagliari. They have managed to find the net once per game on average, but defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 1.8 goals per match. Despite a decent expected goals tally of 1.53, Fiorentina's backline, which has shown vulnerability, will be under pressure to contain Napoli's attacking threats.

Final Prediction

Napoli's edge in this contest comes from their stronger defensive performances and higher position in the league standings. Their ability to keep clean sheets could be decisive against a Fiorentina side that has struggled to maintain defensive solidity. A key factor to watch will be Napoli's ability to capitalize on their home advantage and convert their defensive resilience into a winning performance.
