Napoli vs Fiorentina Predictions

• Napoli have failed to score in four of their last five games.
• Fiorentina have won three of their last five meetings with Napoli.
• Fiorentina have only lost one of their last 11 matches.

Napoli struggling without Spalletti

Serie A champions Napoli ended a four-game winless run last weekend but they could be brought back down to earth in Riyadh as they contest the Italian Super Cup semi-final against Fiorentina.

Gli Azzurri have struggled since Luciano Spalletti left following their Scudetto triumph and sit seventh in the table following their recent spate of poor form.

They have failed to score in four of their last five games, losing three times, and now face a Fiorentina side that beat them 3-1 in Naples in October.

La Viola can edge it in Riyadh

Last year’s Coppa Italia runners-up have lost just one of their last 11 games and have beaten Napoli three times in their last five meetings, all of which came away from Florence.

Given their recent form they are well worth backing as underdogs in Riyadh and, with Napoli struggling in front of goal, I expect a clean sheet as well. Fiorentina have scored exactly once in five of their last eight games and have won 1-0 in three of those, making that a solid choice for a correct score prediction.
