Napoli vs Fiorentina prediction: Look to the BTTS markets for success
Key Stats
- Each of Napoli’s last seven fixtures in Serie A have produced goals at both ends and Antonio Conte’s side hasn’t kept a clean sheet in the league since January 12th.
- BTTS has also landed in four of Fiorentina’s last five away assignments in the division.
- Fiorentina have lost three of their last four away matches in Serie A.
- Napoli have been winning an average of 5.85 corners per game in Serie A this season.
Correct score prediction: Napoli 2-1 Fiorentina
Both teams have registered in 100% of Napoli’s last seven league games, so expect action at both ends again here, however, the hosts should eventually be able to edge out a Fiorentina outfit that lost three of their last four away fixtures in Serie A.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Napoli are odds-on favourites
- HOME: 8/15 (1.53) – 65.2%
- DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
- AWAY: 21/4 (6.25) – 16%

Player to watch – Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku is in the midst of a five-game dry spell in Serie A for Napoli, though the experienced Belgian striker needs just one more goal to hit double figures for the campaign, so he should be motivated on Sunday.

Lukaku has scored against La Viola before
Lukaku got in on the goal-scoring act when Napoli beat Fiorentina 3-0 in January and the centre-forward has notched four career goals against La Viola overall. The 31-year-old would love to enhance that record even further this weekend.
