The final fixture of the weekend in Serie A comes from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as Napoli meet Fiorentina.
The hosts begin the weekend in 3rd place on 14 points while the visitors are in 5th place but on the same number of points.
Napoli come into the match on the back of a 3-2 loss at home against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
It was Napoli who opened the scoring in the 19th minute but it did not take long for Real Madrid to equalise and the Spanish club led 2-1 at the interval.
Napoli scored the equaliser from the penalty spot in the 54th minute but Real Madrid netted the winner 12 minutes from time.
The defeat to Real Madrid was the first loss in 6 fixtures in all competitions for Napoli.
There have been wins over Udinese at home and Lecce away in Serie A plus a 2-1 win at Sporting Braga in the Champions League.
Napoli have been held to a draw by Genoa and Bologna away in Serie A.
Trends show in their last 45 games in Serie A, Napoli have been undefeated on 40 occasions.
They have won 5 of their 6 most recent home league games and have scored 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 Serie A matches on home soil.
Fiorentina make the trip to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona having been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Ferencváros in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.
Fiorentina conceded the first goal in the 25th minute and Ferencváros doubled their advantage early in the second half.
Fiorentina did not wake up until the 66th minute with their first goal and they scored the equaliser in added time.
The draw in the Europa Conference League means Fiorentina are undefeated in their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been wins in Serie A at home against Atalanta and Cagliari plus away to Udinese.
Fiorentina have also been held to a draw by Frosinone away in Serie A and Genk away in the Europa Conference League.
Trends show Fiorentina have a good record of 20 undefeated games in their last 23 encounters in Serie A.
They are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games on the road but have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 9 away Serie A matches.
Team news: Napoli are without the injured duo of Juan Jesus and Amir Rrahmani.
Fiorentina have four players on the treatment table, with Dodo, Niccolò Pierozzi, Yerry Mina, and Gaetano Castrovilli all unavailable for this game.
Fiorentina have been difficult to beat in recent weeks but this will be their next biggest test of the season after the game at Inter Milan.
Fiorentina were heavily beaten in the San Siro and although there should not be a repeat of that 4-0 scoreline in Naples, we expect the hosts to come out on top, with both team scoring.
