Napoli vs Fiorentina Prediction: Can Napoli celebrate the title with a win?

Napoli, the new Italian champions, will play their first game of the season on home soil against Fiorentina. Can Napoli celebrate the title with a win?

After losing the league title at home to Salernitana (1:1), Napoli secured their first Scudetto in over 30 years in Udine. In their meeting with Udinese, the team was satisfied with a draw, which they achieved. The hosts opened the scoring in 13 minutes, thanks to an accurate shot by Sandi Lovric. But as early as the beginning of the second half, Napoli got back into the game thanks to the efforts of Viktor Osimen and then just kept the score level. With the score of 1:1, Napoli showed a great start to the league season and deservedly clinched a win.

The Fiorentina side continues to have one fun match after another. In the previous round, Vincenzo Italiano's team met away with Salernitana, ending in a 3:3 draw. Fiorentina conceded the lead three times, and the last time came in the 85th minute. Nicholas Gonzalez, Jonathan Ikon, and Cristian Biraghi netted the goals for the Florentine side. It should be noted that Fiorentina scored ten goals and conceded six in their previous three league games.

The meeting between Napoli and Fiorentina in the first round ended in a zero draw. But the upcoming game is unlikely to be a repeat of their goal-scoring drought. It will be Napoli's first game as reigning champions, and they will look to prove their worth offensively. Fiorentina, on the other hand, has been playing a solid offensive game lately and has been conceding a lot as well. We expect a productive encounter here because the opponents have no tournament goals at the end of the championship and can afford to play football at their own pleasure.
