A very interesting match will be held within the 18th round of Italian Serie A, where Fiorentina will host Napoli at their home ground. The team from Florence has lost two previous matches, firstly to Genoa, and the 17th round game against Lazio after that, so the supporters are waiting for improvement of performance quality of Paulo Sousa’s team. AS for Napoli, it looks very good right now, the team shows some extraordinary performance, scores a lot and enjoys football.
After 17 rounds of the previous season, Fiorentina were second in the Italian championship, and currently Viola are only eighth, so feel the difference, as they say. Actually, there’s nothing surprising about Paulo Sousa having been “fired” for a few months now. Fiorentina show uneven performance, with lack of concentration in the beginning and in the end of matches, and the focus on a result has disappeared.
But Napoli have got a second wind after a few unfortunate matches in Serie A and Champions League. Partenopei have come to their senses and are showing some extraordinary performance. In the four previous matches, Sarri’s men have gotten only victories, and the opponents of the Naples team weren’t the weakest ones: Torino, Cagliari, Benfica and Inter. Napoli battle not only for the Champions League zone. The southerners still have chances to win Scudetto, that is why they play every match to win, even if the game is away.
Sarri’s men are coming to Florence to win. Two previous games outside the home ground were won by Napoli against Benfica and Cagliari. Fiorentina are currently not stronger, than the Portuguese Eagles, that is why the southerners have decent chances on success.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
