Prediction: 1-2
Napoli
Fiorentina play host to Napoli at their Stadio Artemio Franchi on day 3 of the new Serie A campaign. The Viola failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with their local rivals Empoli, and it is no wonder they are seen as underdogs in Sunday’s showdown. Despite failing to impress in the Tuscan derby, summer signing Luka Jovic should continue to lead the line for the hosts, while both Gaetano Castrovilli and Igor are out of contention with injuries.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Verona and Monza. The visiting side have been scoring goals for fun at the start of the season, and given Fiorentina’s anything but good display against Empoli, away win should be considered. Midfielder Diego Demme should be the only absentee in the away side.
