Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Napoli to score first – 1.84
Napoli to Win
There is a 70% chance that Napoli will win this game since they came out victorious in seven of their last ten fixtures. Also, Napoli are undefeated in Florence in their previous four visits winning the last three.
Under 3 Goals
In the last ten fixtures in Serie A, Fiorentina’s games produced under 3.5 goals. Likewise, the last two games between these two teams played at the Artemio Franchi also ended with three or fewer goals.
Napoli to Score First
Last season, Napoli had better performances playing on the road than at home. One of the aspects that we can see this in is the fact that the Blues scored first in 16 of their 19 road trips.
Fiorentina
With the last round’s draw at Empoli by 0-0, Fiorentina failed to repeat their winning start to the season. In fact, the Violas had won the first match against Cremonese in injury time and with this draw, they don’t seem to be in a good form at the beginning of the season.
However, coach Vincenzo Italiano’s team averaged two goals per game at home the last term. So far with three scored in the first match, Fiorentina are better in terms of goals scored. Moreover, one positive note is their ability to score eight times in Napoli’s goal in the last two games.
Napoli
On the other side, Napoli matched their two-match winning start of last season in the opening two rounds. In detail, the Blues beat Monza away by 4-0 and raised their tally of points to six and goals to nine.
However, coach Spaletti will be aware of the rocket start of the last campaign when they won their opening eight games and still finished third. As a result, consistency is key for Spaletti and coming to Florence, Napoli are full of confidence because of their fine record at the Artemio Franchi.
In the first two rounds, Napoli showed impressive attacking football as was the case last season, and don’t seem to be affected by the departure of some players. Hence, and with Fiorentina’s shaky start, we predict Napoli will win this one.

Both teams scored in the last three h2h meetings between these clubs. Also, the same trend happened in Fiorentina’s and Napoli’s five of their last seven fixtures. As a result, with odds of 1.60, we will back both teams to score in this match.
Fiorentina’s Arthur Cabral was bought in January to replace Vlahovic who was sold to Juventus. The Brazilian spent two remarkable seasons with Basel scoring 32 goals in 51 matches. The hopes are high on Cabral by coach Italiano and the Viola fans to start having a great impact in attack soon/
Fiorentina defender Gaetano Castrovilli has a knee injury and Igor also in defense with physical discomfort are both ruled out for this game.
As for Napoli, Midfielder Diego Demme has a foot injury and will miss action till September.
