Napoli vs Fiorentina Betting Preview

Fiorentina has been chasing Napoli for most of the season, but with just three rounds left, it is obvious that they won't get to overtake their rivals. They will have to settle for a Europa League berth but before they start preparing the European campaign, they can add another trophy by winning Coppa Italia.

Napoli vs Fiorentina Betting Tips

The match will be played on a neutral venue, which is not in their advantage, as Fiorentina collected most of the points the season in front of its fans. On the bright side, the team is in excellent form and has won three out of four games, while scoring 10 goals in the process.
Despite the busy schedule and fairly difficult opponents, they managed to avoid any new injuries and tonight they are at full strength. Rossi and Matri are expected to start in the first half, but Gomez is also a choice for a replacement if things don't go as planned.

Napoli was the more consistent team throughout the season, but recently they have a hard time scoring goals and it's been quite a while since they won consecutive games. Since it became obvious for them that there is no way to improve their fourth place, Napoli decided to rest key players as preparation for this final. The tactic paid off because they don't have players injured or suspended either.

It is frustrating for a team that has such remarkable strikers to be held scoreless by Inter just one week after being limited to a single goal away at Udinese. Higuain and Callejon will be joined by Insigne and they will create an offensive trident that is expected to bring Fiorentina to its knees.

Key Facts

• When the two teams went head to head, most of the points were collected by the team who had home pitch advantage, but Fiorentina has the better overall record.
• The teams split points in the last three games and each of them won by the odd goal, so this is also likely to be a tight affair.
