Head-to-head statistics Napoli - Fiorentina
SSC Napoli Team Overview
What happened to Napoli in the recent matches? Did Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's departure to PSG really impact Antonio Conte's team's performance that much? The team, which just a few rounds ago was confidently leading the Serie A standings, hasn't tasted victory for 5 matches now. Yes, during this period, the "Partenopei" lost only once, but that's not a reason for joy. In the previous round, they barely avoided a home defeat against Inter, a direct competitor in the title race (1-1), equalizing only in the 87th minute. Yes, in terms of play, Napoli looked much better, surpassing their opponent in all statistical parameters, but the champion is the team that has accumulated the most points. Regarding the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 3 players, including Frank Anguissa (calf injury) and David Neres (thigh injury).

ACF Fiorentina Team Overview
Fiorentina is having a much tougher time. The team has suffered 4 defeats in their last 5 matches, with the only victory recorded in a home game against the not-so-strong Lecce (1-0). Recently, the "Viola" suffered a defeat to the Greek Panathinaikos in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16, conceding 3 goals (2-3). As for the Italian Championship, due to not very encouraging results, Raffaele Palladino's squad found themselves in seventh place, although they were recently competing with Juventus and Lazio for the top 4. In the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will be unable to rely on 8 players, including Rolando Mandragora and Nicolo Zaniolo (both suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards).

⚽️ Goals Prediction
In recent matches, Napoli has had no shortage of goals. The team creates a sufficient number of dangerous moments in each game, but for quite some time now, they have been unable to keep their goal intact. The bet both teams to score (yes) has come through in the last 7 games involving them. Overall, Fiorentina is also a team that plays football and allows others to do so. Therefore, in the upcoming encounter, an exchange of goals should also take place.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Napoli is among the best teams in Serie A not only in terms of points earned, goal difference, but also in many other statistical parameters. For example, corners. The "Partenopei" with an average total of 5.9 corners are in the top 4. Fiorentina, on the other hand, is at the bottom of this ranking, approaching the corner flag an average of 4.1 times per game. In such a situation, you can keep it simple and place a bet on Napoli to win on corners with a handicap (-1.5).
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers believe that in the upcoming clash Napoli will secure a long-awaited victory, thus ending their unpleasant winless streak of 5 matches. Overall, this scenario is quite possible. The "Partenopei" still look quite confident in attack, with no issues in creating and converting their chances. Only their defense has dipped in performance. The opponent, Fiorentina, who have noticeably slowed down compared to the first half of the season, provides Antonio Conte's team an excellent opportunity to achieve the necessary result and emerge from the crisis situation. Moreover, in the first round, they easily defeated Fiorentina away (3-0), and this time they will have the support of fans filling the huge stadium. Therefore, our key bet option is a Napoli victory. Most likely, the game will end with a score of 2-1.
