Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
Stadio Diego Armando Maradona will host the Coppa Italia game between Napoli and Fiorentina. The Neapolitans aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sampdoria, and the bookies see them as favourites to make it to the Italian Cup quarter-finals. All Ounas, Koulibaly, and Anguissa are on international duty, and seeing that key attacker Lorenzo Insigne suffered an injury at the weekend, home win should not be considered.
The Viola, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Verona in their last league match. Despite failing to find the net in the “City of Love”, a man to watch in the away team will be Serbia rising star Dusan Vlahovic, whilst Cristiano Biraghi is back from suspension. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw as Napoli are tough to beat in front of home fans.
