Napoli (home)
- Napoli have won only one of their last five in all competitions (W1, D3, L1) but have been solid at home, winning one and drawing one of their two matches in Naples since the World Cup break.
- Antonio Conte’s team are also unbeaten in 10 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in 2025/26, winning seven and scoring 1.7 goals-per-game on average.
- The former Italy boss has installed some tactical discipline at the club since taking charge in June 2024 and his wingback-heavy system, which allows Napoli to stretch the opposition and press relentlessly, has made them one of the most well-organised and difficult to break down teams in Serie A.
Fiorentina (away)
- Paolo Vanoli took over at Fiorentina in November 2025 and has slowly turned la Viola into a more compact, pragmatic team that sets up to frustrate opponents.
- They defend deep, crowd the centre of the pitch and look to hurt opponents on the counter-attack or from set-piece opportunities.
- Vanoli’s team have shown some resilience on the road recently, going unbeaten in their last two away from home (W1, D1), but have only won once in 11 away attempts in Serie A this term.
- The visitors have had a slight improvement in form recently, having won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 in their last five games, but remain 18th in the standings on just 17 points after 22 games.
Head-to-Head
- Napoli have won the last three head-to-head clashes.
- Both teams have scored in the last five head-to-head encounters.
Key Players
- The goal of Rasmus Hoejlund has been sporadic for the Partenopei this season and the Dane has just six Serie A goals in 18 appearances.
- Scott McTominay has found his rhythm and the ex-Manchester United midfielder has scored three of Napoli’s last five goals.
Betting Insights
- Napoli are the clear favorites to win this game at 1.69 with Fiorentina set as 5.0 outsiders and the draw coming in at 3.6.
- Both teams have scored in the last five head-to-head encounters and Fiorentina will certainly have chances to get on the scoreboard, so the 'Both Teams To Score' market at 1.91 appeals more than backing Napoli in the result market.
Prediction
- The home side is the most likely winner.
- Both teams to score looks a sensible addition given the recent head-to-head trend.
