Fiorentina vs Napoli Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions

Napoli aims to secure the top position in Serie A by defeating Fiorentina, following a strong run of three consecutive wins to close 2024.

Fiorentina’s form has dipped recently, leading to dropped points and fewer victories, positioning Napoli to take advantage and climb the standings.

Despite sitting fifth in the league and advancing to the Conference League’s last 16, Fiorentina has collected only one point in their last three Serie A games.

A remarkable winning streak of eight consecutive matches previously propelled Fiorentina into title contention before their form slipped with an unexpected loss to Udinese.

Fiorentina seeks to avoid consecutive home defeats for the first time since late 2023, aiming to reclaim momentum and avoid a disappointing start to the new year.

The Tuscan club has not won its opening Serie A match for five seasons and last celebrated a home victory over Napoli in 2018.

Giovanni Simeone’s hat-trick in Fiorentina’s 2018 win over Napoli contrasts with his current role as an opponent for the upcoming match.

Napoli defeated Fiorentina 3-0 in the 2023-24 Supercoppa Italiana semi-final, showcasing their dominance with Simeone opening the scoring on that occasion.

As Atalanta participates in the Supercoppa Italiana, Napoli benefits from the opportunity to surpass their rivals and potentially claim Serie A’s top spot.

Antonio Conte’s leadership has guided Napoli to 41 points, marking a significant 13-point improvement over the same stage last season, the best progression in the league.

Napoli concluded 2024 with a narrow 1-0 win against Venezia, secured by Giacomo Raspadori’s goal, while Romelu Lukaku missed a crucial penalty earlier in the match.

Napoli’s away form has been impressive, winning six of their last eight away fixtures while maintaining five clean sheets and conceding only three goals during this period.

With such strong defensive performances and consistent results on the road, Napoli approaches their visit to Fiorentina with confidence and minimal concern about the opposition.
