Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Napoli win or draw and over 1.5 goals – 1.50
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Napoli -0.5 goals handicap – 1.75
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Anytime correct score 1-0 – 1.57
Napoli Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
Napoli won 60% of their home games since the start of the season, while Fiorentina won only 33% of their away games. As for the total goals, the last five matches of Napoli saw over 1.5 goals in four of them while the same number of goals produced Fiorentina’s last five Serie A fixtures.
Napoli -0.5 Goals Handicap
Despite some surprise home defeats during the course of the season, Napoli still could cover the -0.5 goal handicap in nine of 16 home Serie A fixtures. With the Scudetto at stake, we think Napoli will be all out for a win and consequently cover the handicap.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
In eight of 15 home Serie A games, Napoli scored first and took a 1-0 lead. Likewise, in Fiorentina’s same number of games, the opponents took the lead first. As a result, we predict Napoli to take the initiative and attack through which they will be rewarded with a 1-0 lead.
Napoli closed the gap with Milan to just one point after they beat Atalanta convincingly 3-1 in Bergamo. That is the Blues’ third straight victory and with seven matches to play, they are in a great position to claim their second Scudetto title. Moreover, next to this match, Napoli have one more game against a top-five team that AS Roma.
Consequently, it is important for Luciano Spaletti to keep the pressure on Milan and win this game. For that, the Blues are doing what they are supposed to do, win! Despite the fact that defensively Napoli are looking vulnerable, conceding in their last seven matches, however, they scored two or more in their last three fixtures.
Playing in Europe next season will be Fiorentina’s main target and after a fine season, they feel they deserve it. With their last win over Empoli by 1-0, the Violas extended their unbeaten run to four grabbing eight points in the process. However, goals dried up after Vlahovic left, scoring one goal a game in each of their last seven games.
Likewise, playing on the road, Vincenzo Italiano’s team couldn’t prevent any of their hosts from scoring in each of their last 11 away Serie A fixtures. However, if the Violas want to challenge for a European spot they have to improve at the back. Surely, their last visit to Naples will encourage them as they beat Napoli 5-2 in the Coppa Italia.

Napoli vs Fiorentina Prediction
Both teams will be eying a win here for their different targets this season. Still, Napoli seems to be more eager as they are playing for the championship and are very close to winning it.
However, Napoli’s form at home has not been very stable and for that, we will pick a combo bet of home win or draw combined with over 1.5 goals.
Safe Bet
While playing at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli usually win 6.53 corners per game. Meanwhile, Fiorentina’s average number of corners won per game in their away games is 5.33. As a result, we find backing Napoli with a -0.5 corners handicap with odds of 1.54 to be a safe bet.
Quick Rich
Both teams scored in the last two h2h meetings. Moreover, Napoli failed to score in only 20% of their home games, while Fiorentina failed in 27% of their away games. Hence, with odds of 3.00, we will pick the bet Napoli win combined with both teams to score as our quick rich bet.
Napoli vs Fiorentina First Goalscorer
After rejecting a 100 million pound offer from Newcastle, Napoli proved that Victor Osimhen is a very important player for the team. The Nigerian missed Napoli’s last match against Atalanta but will be fit for Sunday. Hence, we expect Osimhen to be the first goalscorer in this match.
