Napoli is looking forward to Tuscany!
The reigning Italian champions have not put a foot wrong so far this season: SSC Napoli won their first two league games, keeping a clean sheet in both! So what is the best Fiorentina vs. Napoli tip?
In addition to their strong early form, the southern Italians’ preference for footballing trips to Tuscany also suggests that Napoli’s winning streak will continue. Napoli have not lost in Florence in seven away games, winning the majority (4) of these encounters!
The home side has also been inconsistent so far, with two draws at the start of the season, both against lightweight opponents in the form of Torino and Cagliari. For the match between Fiorentina and Napoli, the prediction is therefore another win for the visitors.
Furthermore, we do not expect the home side to score. Not only does SSC’s strong defense speak in favor of this, but also the currently harmless attack of the Tuscan kickers, who have scored only one goal in two league games.
Fiorentina – Napoli Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Napoli won both matches against Fiorentina last season and are unbeaten in four games against Florence (3-1-0). In addition, the visitors have scored two or more goals in each of those games.
On top of that, as mentioned at the beginning, the home side have been waiting for their next win against Napoli for seven home games (0-3-4) and have failed to score four times. For the upcoming match, the Fiorentina vs. Napoli odds are once again pointing slightly towards a win for the visitors.
Fiorentina – Napoli Tip
Fiorentina’s squad underwent a number of changes in the summer and the newly assembled team from Tuscany clearly needs more time to gel. This was evident in the two draws at the start of the season against comparatively weak teams from the Italian top flight.
The offense in particular has been disappointing so far, and top striker Moise Kean, who was clearly AC’s best goal scorer last season with 19 goals, is still waiting for his first Serie A goal of the season.
In contrast, the champions are already up to speed with two wins to nil. Although their last triumph against Cagliari came only thanks to a very late goal in injury time, the three points were still deserved. In view of this, the Fiorentina vs. Napoli betting odds for an away win look promising.
This prediction is backed up by the hosts’ chronically poor home record against the southern Italians. They haven’t won against their upcoming opponents on their own turf since April 2018 and have lost four of seven games of this kind!
