Fiorentina vs Napoli Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

SSC Napoli were the better side when these teams last met.

Fiorentina are ready to host Napoli for the matchweek 3 fixture of the 2025-26 Serie A season. The interesting contest between these Italian clubs is scheduled to take place at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Fiorentina at home will be looking for their first win of the new Italian league campaign. They were held to a draw in both of their last two fixtures.

It was a decent performance by the Stefano Pioli-led men in their last game, but it was not enough as they dropped two points. The upcoming fixture is going to be a tough one for them.

The defending Serie A champions have begun their journey as they might have wanted. SSC Napoli secured wins in both of their first two matches of the new season and will be looking to extend their winning run here. For their next clash, they will be away from home, but their confidence levels will be on a positive side.

Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli)

Kevin De Bruyne also performed well during the international break, but his performance in the previous two games for Napoli has not been very pleasing. But the Belgian midfielder will be looking to continue his form here. With his skills, De Bruyne is going to be a constant threat to the opponents.
