Napoli hosts Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, January 13th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
Napoli has not spent the last few years in the best way. In fact, after Sarri, the head coaches disappointed the fans, both the experienced Ancelotti and the young Gattuso (who, by the way, won the cup, beating Juventus in the final, and then was a hero). Since this season, Spalletti has been working in Naples. Under Luciano, the Neapolitans started very powerfully, forcing the experts to talk about claims not only for a place in the top four but also for the Scudetto. But then the club significantly slowed down, demonstrating that its real maximum is a place in the Champions League. But after the holidays, the Parthenopeans showed quite good results: an away draw against Juventus and a home victory over Sampdoria.

Fiorentina is another team that has not recently shown the level that the fans expected from it. But if Napoli did not make it to the Champions League, then the citizens of Florence began to forget what European competitions are in general. And it seems that now the Violets have a unique chance to make noticeable progress. The new head coach of the team, Vincenzo Italiano, is showing himself well. Dusan Vlahovic became another key factor of good results, as his goals often helped Fiorentina earn important points. The Serb will leave in the summer, and even now he cannot help but be distracted by various transfer rumors. Do not forget that Fiorentina played on Monday, so there was little time to recover.
Napoli gained five victories and lost only once in the last seven head-to-head matches against Fiorentina. Now the Neapolitans are on a streak of three consecutive wins. In particular, they conceded first and did not convert a penalty but pulled out a 2-1 victory in Florence in October. It is not clear what goals are set for the upcoming game. But Napoli looks better in terms of the roster and will play at home, so we will bet on its victory in regulation time.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win
