In this Serie A fixture, Fiorentina host Napoli, with the home side having taken 3 points from 4 matches to sit 16th, while Napoli have 6 points from 4 matches and are 10th. Both teams still need points to climb out of the lower part of the table. Fiorentina have just won back-to-back matches, but before that they lost three league games in a row, and this season they have scored 5 and conceded 11 in 4 matches, with the defence still a clear problem. Napoli, meanwhile, have won 2 and lost 2 of 4 matches, scoring 6 and conceding 5. The numbers are not spectacular, but their game looks more controlled, averaging 52.6% possession over their last 10 matches compared with 44.5% for the hosts. This game is likely to play out with Fiorentina having to push the tempo, because they are at home and need points to stay away from the lower zone, while Napoli will probably wait for counter-attacking moments and use their midfield advantage to gradually squeeze the game. If the hosts rush too much and lose the ball in midfield, Napoli have a chance to take the lead and control the situation.
