Serie A 2026/2027 has brought no joy to Fiorentina
Fiorentina have struggled to get a good rhythm so far in Serie A 2026-2027, currently sitting 15th with 3 points from their 4 matches to date.
The return of Paolo Vanoli to the club has seen an attempt at a more compact style and it looks like his 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3 hybrid are aimed at keeping the team well organised and controlling the tempo, however, his side's last 5 matches across all competitions have produced a mixed 2 wins and 3 defeats.
The last 3 games in Serie A 2026/2027 have been a rollercoaster of sorts, with a 0-3 home defeat to Frosinone followed by a 1-2 reverse against Torino, before an impressive 2-4 away win at Venezia. 3 goals from Franco Mastantuono in his 4 Serie A appearances this season makes him the club's danger man, while he has also scored 3 of Fiorentina's last 10 goals in all competitions.
Allegri is trying to bring Napoli back to their solid roots
Napoli come into this match off the back of 3 straight defeats across all competitions, including defeats to the likes of Como, Inter and Arsenal. Their away record in Serie A 2026/2027 has seen them win and lose from 2 away matches, but they'll surely have the quality to better Fiorentina in this one.
Massimiliano Allegri joined Napoli in July 2026 and he has set about bringing back some of the solid structure that Napoli have been built upon since the early 2000s. Their tempo control, smart pressing and ability to sit and strike in numbers should be too much for Fiorentina, although the visitors' wobble of late doesn't inspire much confidence.
The visitors have been scoring, with Rasmus Hojlund bagging 2 of Napoli's Serie A 2026/2027 goals in 3 matches, so they have an out and out forward to pinch the game at any moment.
Back Napoli to edge it
Although Napoli are the favourites at 2.2, Fiorentina are 3.15 and the draw is 3.4. This looks like a cagey Serie A encounter with Napoli having the edge in the head-to-head and market odds. We're taking Allegri's men to just about see it through, however, the low odds on the victory makes Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 the best alternative angle.
