Fiorentina vs Napoli: Preview, Free tip & Prediction
02.10.2021 15:00
Six games, six wins. Napoli are taking no prisoners in Serie A and convincingly hold the top spot in the table. But on Sunday night, they face a tough test against Fiorentina.
Basic information, news and team form
Fiorentina have been one of the pleasant surprises of this year's Italian league so far. Although the Violets entered the season with a defeat at the ground of AS Roma, they then started a series of 2-1 wins. With this score, Fiorentina beat Torino, Atalanta and Genoa and quickly moved to the top half of the table. Although the Violets were slowed down in the fifth round by Inter, who turned around a half-time deficit to win 3-1, Fiorentina got back on the winning track last weekend with a 1-0 triumph at Udinese.
Napoli, meanwhile, have dominated Serie A in a way that would have put even Juventus to shame in their glory days. In six rounds, the Partenopei have not lost a point and have conceded only two goals, one of which was scored by Juventus. But the Old Lady still went down 1-2 to Napoli and joined the ever-growing list of teams that haven't found a recipe for the Gli Azzurri. Only Russian side Spartak Moscow managed to do so, surprisingly winning 3-2 in Naples in a Europa League match on Thursday. SSC have just a point from two matches in this competition, but there is no doubt that Spalletti's team's priority is Serie A.
Betdoin's view of the match
Will Fiorentina stop Napoli's winning streak? Betdoin's algorithm doesn't believe so. The system predicts a win for the visitors and sees value in betting on their success. One of the selected picks is over 1.5 goals scored by Napoli at a tempting odds of over 1.80.
