Napoli, who shares the lead in Serie A with Juventus, can lock up first place alone by winning for the fourth consecutive time when they play at Fiorentina on Saturday evening in Stadio Franchi.

Although the Viola have lost some ground and falling down the table, their guests do not intend to give up the championship, while Atalanta BC is playing in the Supercoppa Italiana.

Given that the Viola have won only one of the last 13 road matches of the two in Serie A, managing a 2-2 d raw away to Turin last week was a relative miracle for Fiorentina even as the club rich got richer in its win-less streak.

Moise Kean put the Viola on,leveland after coming back to his previous club the Viola was once again equalised by Riccardo Sottil’s late goal ensuring they are now a goal ahead of Juve.

Fiorentina may well be in the league’s fifth place and assured a place in the Conference league next stage but it remains win-less in the last three league games only managing a single point.

It was all looking rosy until their mount of eight successive wins catapulted them into title calculation and Raffaele Palladino’s side have had a wobble recently, and the Zebrette eventually brought an end to their long unbeaten run on the domestic soil just before the Christmas break.

The Tuscan club have not registered successive league losses at home since end of season 2023/2024, so they will be eager to end that record by posting a victory this weekend.

Nevertheless, they have been unable to secure their first Serie A match of the year consecutively for the past five season, furthermore, their last home victory against Napoli was back in 2018. On that occasion, a hat-trick by the Gijo運動 Giovanni Simeone – who will be on the opposing side this time – ended the game 3-0.

Simeone opened the scoring in the Azzurri's 3-0 victory in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals, their other meeting of the 2023–24 season.

After their miserable inability to defend the Scudetto, Napoli will be watching the match from a distance twelve months from now. However, Antonio Conte's team has a window of chance because of Atalanta's involvement in Saudi Arabia.

By avoiding a loss on Saturday, they may go ahead of La Dea and defending champions Inter Milan at the top of Serie A with one game remaining in the season.

The Partenopei have amassed 41 points so far this season under Conte's fierce leadership, which is the highest of any team still in the top division and represents a 13-point rise from the same time last season.

Napoli defeated Venezia 1-0 at home in their final match of an exciting 2024, thanks to a late goal from Giacomo Raspadori after Romelu Lukaku missed a penalty in the first half. They will now begin 2025 on the road.

The Campanian team has won six of the last eight games, is still undefeated, has only allowed three goals, and has kept five clean sheets since losing their first away game of the season 3-0.

 

As a result, there won't be many worries when visiting Florence.

Few changes to Fiorentina's starting lineup are anticipated because Raffaele Palladino should have a full squad available on Saturday night, despite Danilo Cataldi missing training in the middle of the week due to sickness.

With 15 goals this season, Kean is Serie A's top scorer in all competitions and is certain to start up front. However, Gudmundsson may be replaced in the Italy striker's supporting cast by Lucas Beltran.

This weekend, Conte will once more be missing defensive mainstay Alessandro Buongiorno; nevertheless, all other players should be available, leaving right-wingers David Neres and Matteo Politano in a crucial selection struggle.

This month, midfielder Folorunsho is also expected to join Palladino's team as Napoli looks to cut some underperforming players and add individuals who could help them win the Scudetto.
