Fiorentina is hosting Napoli to Stadio Artemio Franchi in round 7 of the Italian Serie A. Fiorentina has been excellent in the attacking end so far this season, and they have scored in 5 of their 6 games. Napoli is at the top of Serie A, and they have been in the best form overall with all 6 wins.
Fiorentina has 4 wins and 2 losses so far this season, but they have been in great form offensively, while their defense tends to get sloppy. Fiorentina has 12 points, and they are in 5th place in the Serie A standings right now. In their last game against Udinese on the road, Fiorentina was solid with 55% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 1 corner kick, 1 big chance created, and 86% of the correct passes. With a goal from the penalty spot in the 16th minute, Fiorentina has won this game 0-1, and the goalscorer was who other than Vlahovic who has 4 goals to his name so far this season. Castrovilli, Pulgar, and Venuti are all injured for Fiorentina. I know that Fiorentina is a decent team, and they can play great from time to time, but I think they are playing above their capabilities right now, and Vlahovic has very little support.
Napoli is the best team in Italy overall so far this season, on both ends, and they are deservedly at the top of the table. Napoli has scored 16 goals, conceded only 2 goals, and they have all 6 wins. Earlier this week, Napoli was playing against Spartak Moscow at home in the Europa League, and they have had 48% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and 85% of the correct passes. After getting ahead in 1st minute, Napoli has conceded a red card in the 30th minute, and that was when everything went downhill for them. Napoli was losing 1-3 in the second half, but they were able to score 1 more goal, and the final score was 2-3. Serie A on the other hand is a different story for Napoli, and I think they will have another great game. Osimhen has scored 4 goals for Napoli so far, while Koulibaly, Insigne, and Ruiz added 2 goals each. Insigne has also added 3 assists. There are no notable injuries in Napoli as of right now. As I’ve mentioned, Napoli is the best team overall in Italy, they deserve to be at the top, and I hope they can keep this going.
Napoli hasn’t lost any of their last 10 games on the road, and they look unbeatable at the moment, at least in Serie A. yes, Fiorentina is scoring goals, but if Napoli closes Vlahovic, Fiorentina is done, and I think that is what will happen.
