The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Fiorentina lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important encounter at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday.
Napoli vs Fiorentina Preview
Fiorentina are currently in eighth place in the Serie A standings so far this season and have not been at their best in recent weeks. La Viola were held to a 3-3 draw by Salernitana in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Napoli, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have already won the Serie A title this season. The Neapolitan outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Udinese last week and have a point to prove in this match.
Napoli vs Fiorentina Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Napoli have a good recent record against Fiorentina and have won 19 out of the last 38 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Fiorentina's nine victories.
- Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last two matches against Napoli in the Serie A and could play out three consecutive matches without a defeat against the hosts for the first time since 2011.

- Fiorentina have won three of their last five Serie A matches against Napoli in the second half of the season and have kept clean sheets in three of these games.

Napoli vs Fiorentina Prediction
Napoli have been in excellent form this season and have managed to win the league title with five games to spare. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has enjoyed a stellar season so far and will look to make his mark in this fixture.
