Napoli haven’t won in five games (four draws and one defeat) and that’s why Antonio Conte has lost his place at the top of the table. But the match against Fiorentina could put a smile back on the faces of the Campania side. For several reasons.
Firstly, the Viola are going through a very important crisis, so much so that even Raffaele Palladino’s job has been called into question in recent weeks. And then, of course, the Tuscan side’s thoughts are on next Thursday’s Conference League return leg, when they will have to try to overturn a 3-2 deficit against Greek side Panathinaikos at home. In short, lots of things on their minds and too many problems. Physical problems have also plagued the Azzurri in recent weeks, with Anguissa still out and others struggling with niggles that, however, will not make a difference in the end.
Last year, Fiorentina won at the Maradona. But this is where our headline comes in. It has not happened since October 1995, thirty years ago, that the Viola have won two away games in a row against Napoli. And let’s say calmly that this does not seem to be the right time to think about an away win. Napoli have also rested all week and prepared well for this match. Even the physical and mental strength will be very, very different.

The prediction
Napoli will win against a tired Fiorentina side that has many problems to solve at the moment. The Azzurri, on the other hand, are lively and full of energy. This factor will certainly make the difference.
