Fiorentina

The match in Turin against Juventus in the previous round was a disappointing one for Fiorentina. Twice the Florentines managed to get back on track. The result was a 2:2 draw.

Fiorentina, snatching a draw in Turin, rehabilitated for two consecutive defeats - from Udinese (1:2) at home and from Bologna (0:1) away. In the Serie A standings, the Violets have retained fifth place, three points behind the top-4, but are level on points lost with Lazio, who are closing in on the Champions League competition.

Also, recall that Fiorentina performs in the Conference League, where after six rounds took third place in the table of 36 teams, having made it to the round of 16 directly.

Napoli

Neapolitans in the last round hosted on their field Venezia. The team had a significant advantage, in the end of the first half got the right to a penalty, which was not realized by Romelu Lukaku. As a result, the first goal was scored at a packed Maradona Stadium until the 79th minute, when Giacomo Raspadori scored. 1:0 - a crucial victory for Napoli, allowing the Southerners to once again equalize with the leader of the current Italian championship, Atalanta.

In general, recall that in early December, Napoli lost twice in a row to Lazio. First 1:3 on the road, dropping out of the Italian Cup. Then 0:1 at home in the championship. However, after these failures, the Neapolitans did not stumble again. Victory over Venezia became for Antonio Conte's team the third in a row. Before that, Napoli beat Udinese (3:1) and Genoa (2:1) on the road. In addition, it should be noted that Napoli has the best defense in this Italian championship - only 12 goals conceded in 18 matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Napoli play more low-scoring matches in this championship than high-scoring ones. This is not surprising, because Antonio Conte builds the game of his team from the defense, and the Neapolitans are the leader of the current championship on conceded goals. For the match in Florence we also suggest, contrary to the statistics of face-to-face meetings between the rivals, to consider a bet on TU (2.5), as Fiorentina are among the leaders in terms of defense - only 15 goals in 17 matches.
