The Fiorentina vs Napoli clash lands at the Artemio Franchi in Serie A, with the visitors carrying a heavy recent edge into Florence.
Fiorentina have found some footing after Paolo Vanoli's return, with back-to-back wins across Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Franco Mastantuono's hat-trick in the 4-2 win at Venezia lit the spark.
Napoli sit on six points from four matches after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bologna, and their manager has flagged this trip as one of the four or five biggest games of the season.
The record makes grim reading for the hosts: Napoli have won their last four meetings with Fiorentina in all competitions, scoring at least twice in each of their last six against them.
Fiorentina vs Napoli Form
The Vanoli effect is real, with Fiorentina stringing together back-to-back wins in Serie A and the Coppa Italia to steady a rocky start. They are firing at one end but leaking badly at the other, having conceded at least two goals in each of their last four league games. Mastantuono, fresh off a hat-trick at Venezia, is the man to watch.
Napoli look the more settled side, arriving on six points from four matches following a gritty 1-0 win over Bologna. Their trademark 4-3-3 leans on Kevin De Bruyne in the engine room, while Rasmus Højlund carries the goal threat up top, having scored in two of his last three Serie A outings.

The back four is anchored by Amir Rrahmani and Rafa Marín, flanked by Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Leonardo Spinazzola. Billy Gilmour, Stanislav Lobotka and Kevin De Bruyne dictate play, while Noa Lang and Matteo Politano provide the width for Rasmus Højlund. Anguissa faces a late fitness test.

Fiorentina vs Napoli Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Napoli are the favourites here at 13/10 (AK Bets) and the numbers back it up, with the away side projected to edge this in a game full of goals. We are calling it a 2-1 Napoli win, with both teams likely to find the net given the goal glut in this fixture.
Best Bets
Stanislav Lobotka to commit over 1.5 fouls in the Player Fouls market. Lobotka anchors the Napoli midfield in a demanding away test, and with a Fiorentina side that takes plenty of shots and attacks down the right, the Slovakian is projected to break up play often, carrying a strong expected value on this line.
Marin Pongracic to make over 2.5 tackles in the Player Tackles market. With Napoli favoured and set to control the ball in the opposition half, Fiorentina's makeshift centre-back Pongracic faces plenty of defensive work, and the numbers point to a busy afternoon of tackling for him.
Fiorentina vs Napoli Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans into the goals: Mateo Pellegrino to score anytime, Over 1.5 Napoli goals, Lorenzo Lucca over 2.5 shots and both teams to score.
Pellegrino for anytime goalscorer makes sense, with the central striker having scored in two of his last three Serie A appearances and leading the Fiorentina line.
Over 1.5 Napoli goals is well supported, as they have scored 2+ goals in 5 out of 5 matches against Fiorentina in Serie A.
Lorenzo Lucca over 2.5 shots targets attacking volume from a forward option, adding some offensive upside to the ticket in a fixture built for chances.
Both teams to score is backed by in-form marksmen, with Højlund and Pellegrino each scoring in two of their last three Serie A outings and goals flowing at both ends.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 8/1 and is as short as 7/1 elsewhere.

Fiorentina vs Napoli Talking Points
This one hinges on whether Fiorentina's revival can dent a fearsome recent record, with the visitors having won their last four meetings in all competitions and netting twice or more in each of their last six. Vanoli has openly praised Kevin De Bruyne's footballing intelligence, tagging the Belgian as Napoli's main creative threat, and stopping him will be central to any home hopes. On the other bench, there is intrigue too, with Noa Lang publicly challenged to show more commitment after being left out for the Champions League tie with Arsenal. With goals a near-certainty in this fixture and both teams scoring in five of the last six meetings, Fiorentina's leaky back four faces a stern test against a Napoli side that keeps punishing them.
