Napoli

Napoli have been experiencing a mixed run of form, currently sitting in 2nd position in Serie A with 57 points from 27 games. Their recent results show a notable tendency to draw, with four of their last six matches ending in stalemates. The team's last victory came against Juventus on 25th January, and they have since gone five games without a win. Defensively, Napoli have been struggling to keep clean sheets, with their last seven matches seeing both teams score. Their goal difference over the last six games is perfectly balanced at 0, scoring and conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, while the other half have stayed under, suggesting a mix of high-scoring affairs and tighter contests.

Fiorentina

Fiorentina's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the team experiencing a mix of wins and losses in their last six matches. The Viola have shown a tendency for close matches, with four of their last six games being decided by a single goal margin. Notably, Fiorentina endured a three-match losing streak in Serie A, falling to Inter Milan, Como, and Hellas Verona before bouncing back with a win against Lecce. Their most impressive result came in a 3-0 victory over Inter Milan, which stands out as a high-scoring game and a rare clean sheet for the team. Despite their mixed form, Fiorentina have managed to maintain a respectable 7th position in the league table, with their goal difference of +1 over the last six matches reflecting their competitive nature. The team's ability to score (1.17 goals per game) and defend (1 goal conceded per game) has been relatively balanced, contributing to their mid-table position.

Recent home/away form

Napoli

Napoli have shown a mixed run of form in their recent home games, with a notable unbeaten streak of four matches before their most recent fixture. The Partenopei have secured three wins, two draws, and suffered one loss in their last six home encounters. Interestingly, Napoli have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with five out of six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been particularly impressive, conceding only four goals in six matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat modest, averaging just 1.17 goals per game. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with three consecutive 1-0 or 2-0 victories before their recent draws. Despite their solid home form, Napoli have struggled to dominate opponents, with half of their matches seeing both teams score.

Fiorentina

Fiorentina's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with the Viola struggling to secure victories on their travels. The team have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six away matches, conceding at least one goal in each game. Notably, Fiorentina are currently on a run of two consecutive away defeats in Serie A, losing to Inter Milan and Hellas Verona. Their last away win came against Lazio, sandwiched between two losses. The Viola have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with four out of their six recent away matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these games, highlighting Fiorentina's ability to find the net despite their defensive frailties. However, their goal difference of -2 over the last six away matches suggests they are struggling to outscore their opponents consistently on the road.
