Napoli vs Fiorentina – Serie A Betting Tips

Napoli welcomes Fiorentina to their home stadium—the Stadia Diego Armando Maradona (Naples) for their Coppa Italia knockout clash of 2022. 

This clash is fascinating and important to the teams involved because they’re Serie A teams and need a trophy. Although they haven’t been in great form, Napoli would not like to crash out of this cup competition. In contrast, being in good form by their standards, Fiorentina would fancy a chance of boosting their confidence and season trophy hopes by dumping Napoli out of this competition.

Also, this match has a good history in Italian football history. Most importantly, Fiorentina might be looking for sweet revenge (Napoli trashed them 6-0 last year) against a weakened Napoli side.

Here are our tips for this match:

Napoli Form and Team News

Napoli has been in bad shape. They are so bad that they have only won just 3 of their last 10 games in all competitions; they lost 5 and drew 2. 

In their last match against Juventus, they took the lead in the first half but couldn’t keep the lead and drew the match in the second half. 

On another note, even though they haven’t been getting the results they want, they have also shown determination and won some important matches and big teams in Europe (their important Europa League win against Leicester City) and won AC Milan and Lazio.

For the team news, Napoli would be without Victor Oshimen, Lozano, Fabian Ruiz, and Meret Alex.

Fiorentina Form and Team News

Fiorentina had an enjoyable December as they played 5 games, won 4, and drew 1. In fact, they are unbeaten in their last 6 games since November, drawing only 2 (their recent 2 games) and winning the rest.

Fiorentina has been punching above their weight this season by the outcome of their results, losing just 2 games in their last 10 games, drawing 2, and winning 6, which includes a win 4-3 against AC Milan. 

For the Fiorentina team news, only two players are set to miss this clash: Riccardo and Marco Bennasi.

Our Tipsters Angle

This match is hard to predict because each team’s stats and current form contradict. 

Napoli would love to stay in this competition as the Serie A is slowly slipping away from them, and the Europa League isn’t assured as top teams will be playing there.

Fiorentina would be very confident for this clash as they are unbeaten in their last 6 games. However, Fiorentina has always struggled to win Napoli in recent seasons, and in their last 5 clashes, Napoli has won 4, and Fiorentina won just 1.

Below are our tips for this fixture:

Tip 1:  Both Teams Score

Even though Napoli hasn’t been getting the results they seek, they have found the net in most of their matches. Fiorentina has found the net in 9 out of their last 10 games.

Napoli’s last 10 games have seen both teams scoring in 6 of them, while Fiorentina’s last 10 games have seen both teams scoring in 7.

Also, checking their H2H, in their recent 5 games, both teams have found the net in 3 of them, and with the nature of this clash, we think this outcome will repeat itself.

Both Teams to Score is available at Casumo Bookie at 1.61 odds.

Tip 2:  Over 2.5 Goals

Napoli’s matches have been filled with over 2.5 match goal outcomes. Although their last 4 games in all competitions have Under 2.5 goals, the other 6 are all over 2.5 match goals.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, is goal crazy. They have had over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 games in all competitions. It seems like they are trying to be the new Atalanta of Italian football. 

Also, checking the H2H between these participating teams shows they have had over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 games in all competitions.

Over 2.5 Goals is placed at 1.64 odds at the Casumo Sportsbook.

Conclusion

This Coppa Italia clash will certainly be a banger as these Italian giants clash. Napoli is still struggling with getting the results they want, but things are not going their way. However, their past performances against Fiorentina will give them hope to go into this match.

Fiorentina would be confident knowing that this is a weakened Napoli side, and they can get a win from this match if they put in a good effort.

Whichever the game goes, we are sure it will be an exciting watch.
