Fiorentina vs Napoli tips and predictions

Fiorentina huge price to cause the shock

If the home side is dialled in to this huge challenge they might just surprise a few people.

The hosts have reached 2 wins in 5 matches while the travelling side has tasted defeat in 8 of their recent 16 matches on the road. If Napoli lose this it will register as a siesmic upset but that price on the underdogs just looks too big.

Fiorentina are going to have to produce a standard of football most people don't think they are capable of. If the hosts are to really fancy their chances they'll have gained a lot confidence from their previous outings. This home team is making the most of a recent run of form and they have shown their prowess when everything comes together. They scored two or more times in 7 of their recent 11 matches and the rest of the team has been industrious too. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 4 of their last 5 games.

Napoli have sometimes lost their shape on the road. They've conceded three or more times in 4 of their last 11 away matches. To have any chance of success, the underdogs must not hesitate in front of goal.

Despite the massive favouritism for Napoli it will be fun to see Fiorentina make a match of it. To that end the BTTS Yes looks good.

There's usually a caveat when backing big-priced outsiders. Obviously the more likely result is the away win but their price is too short for this preview.
