Napoli take on the visitors Fiorentina at “Stadio San Paolo” in the round 16 of the Italian Serie A. The game will be played in Naples, December 10th.
Napoli have failed completely the last week. At first the side has been beaten by Juventus with 0:1 scoreline at its own turf within the Italian elite division, having earned its first defeat in this season’s Serie A. And then Maurizio Sarri’s team lost 1:2 to Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League, having been eliminated from the tournament, meaning that in spring “Partenopei” will appear in the UEFA Europa League. That failure against “La Vecchia Signora” cost Napoli the leading position in the Serie A where they are settling now on the second place in the table with 38 points gained and 35-10 goal difference, being one point behind Inter. The side picked up 16 points with 17 goals for and four goals against in seven encounters played in face of its supporters.

Last round Fiorentina broke their four-clash run without victories, having smashed Sassuolo with 3:0 scoreline at the home pitch. This season doesn’t belong to the best ones for “Viola” which is sitting now on the seventh position in the elite division standings with 21 points collected and 26-19 goal difference while the gap from the third place has already reached 16 points. The club from Florence conducted eight matches on the road, resulting in eight points taken, 12 goals for and 10 goals against. Stefano Pioli’s side has not been able to win in three recent fights at away grounds since 22nd of October.
Last time Napoli was defeated by Fiorentina on the 23rd of March 2014, meaning that “Partenopei” have not lost eight head-to-heads in a row, having got six triumphs and two draws in them. The club from Naples cannot show weak performance in three consecutive battles, thus, we expect the hosts’ victory in the Sunday clash.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
