Fiorentina vs Napoli Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast

Napoli have already suffered almost thrice the defeats as the last trophy-winning season

ACF Fiorentina may be eighth in the Serie A table but they have a good recent form. Last fixture saw them win 2-1 at home against AC Monza. Just before that, a 1-1 draw with Club Brugge in the semi-final second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League granted them a place in the finals on an aggregate 4-3 win.

SSC Napoli are just a shadow of themselves. Last season, 2022-23, they won the Italian first tier with a 16-point advantage over second-placed Lazio. This season, we see them in ninth spot with almost thrice the defeats suffered than the previous season. Francesco Calzona’s men are coming into this game fresh from a 2-0 defeat to Bologna.

Players to Watch

Nicolas Gonzalez (Fiorentina)

The 26-year-old Argentinian winger is a very tricky player to deal with. Nicolás González plays at the right wing and is left-footed. In the Italian division, González has 12 goal contributions for his team after 26 appearances.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli)

With Kylian Mbappé announcing his desire not to continue with Paris Saint-Germain after this season, the French outfit is surely on the move to find attacking alternatives. According to various reports, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is one of the big names on their list. Kvaratskhelia has so far scored 10 league goals while providing eight assists this season.
