Napoli continue the battle for the Serie A title with a host of a tough opponent in the face of Fiorentina. The Neapolitan club is one point behind leaders Milan seven rounds before the end of the championship. The team is followed by Inter, which has a passive match, and if it is won, the two teams will equalize in points.

Napoli did not perform at the level of either Europe or the Italian Cup, but in Serie A it is about to record one of its best seasons. With three consecutive victories so far are the "Sky Blues". The one over Udinese hardly impresses anyone, but the other two successes were as a guest against solid opponents such as Verona and Atalanta. A week ago in Bergamo Napoli, the team was in a waiting position, but it was much more clinical in front of the opponent's goal than the opponent.

After the sale of Vlahovic, Fiorentina is doing surprisingly well. The Violets are in dispute with Atalanta, Lazio and Roma for the first two places at the foot of the Top 4, which ensure participation in European club tournaments. For four consecutive games in Serie A, the team has not lost, having managed to score eight points. In each of these matches, the team scored exactly one goal, and it was enough for home victories over Bologna and Empoli.

The first match between the two teams this season was very exciting. Fiorentina took the lead in the result, but then Napoli managed to register a complete turnaround and eventually won 2: 1. However, the Violets were the reason the Sky Blues left the Italian Cup so early. At the beginning of the year, the match in Naples ended 2: 2 in their regular time, and in overtime Fiore's players scored three unanswered goals.

Napoli may be the best guest in Serie A, but they are inferior to the strongest hosts. In four consecutive home games, the team invariably conceded a goal, taking only a point from the direct clashes with Inter and Milan. Fiorentina does not feel very comfortable when visiting Italy, but on his last visit he tripped the champion Inter. In general, however, the "Violets" play poorly on the pitches of teams from the first half of the standings. They have already lost to Juventus, Roma and Lazio, and today I expect a new similar development in their assets.
