Napoli are set to welcome Fiorentina to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday in their next Serie A fixture.
Napoli come into this game after recording a 2-1 win over Luca Gotti's Udinese last Sunday in their most recent Serie A game.
Goals from captain Lorenzo Insigne and France international Tiemoue Bakayoko ensured victory for Gennaro Gattuso's side. Italian striker Kevin Lasagna scored the consolation goal for Udinese.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, beat Eusebio Di Francesco's Cagliari 1-0 last Sunday in their last Serie A game.
A second-half goal from young Serbia international Dusan Vlahovic sealed the deal for Cesare Prandelli's Fiorentina.
