Fiorentina vs. Napoli: Match Prediction
Despite a less than ideal start to the current Serie A season, Fiorentina has shown defensive solidity, conceding only one goal in two matches. At home, they are particularly stingy, allowing opponents to score more than once in just 2 of their last 10 home league games, and keeping clean sheets in five of those matches.
Napoli, meanwhile, struggles with scoring in away games; they have exceeded one goal only once in their last seven away Serie A encounters. Furthermore, in two of these matches, Napoli failed to score at all, including against Parma and Venezia, teams that finished last season in the lower half of the table.
I expect another solid defensive performance from Fiorentina, so my prediction: Napoli individual total under 1.5 goals
