Napoli come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Udinese, a result which was good enough to see them win the title this season. Udinese tried their best to spoil the party and opened the scoring in the 13th minute.
Napoli came out in the second half and scored the equaliser in the 52nd minute and that was good enough to win the league.
The draw at Udinese means Napoli are undefeated in their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions. However, they have recorded only 1 victory in those 5 matches with the win coming away against Juventus.
There have been draws at home with Verona and Salernitana in Serie A, away to Udinese in Serie A, and at home with AC Milan in the Champions League.
Trends show in their last 37 games in Serie A, Napoli have recorded 34 undefeated encounters. They are undefeated in 17 of their last 19 home league games but have kept only 3 clean sheets in their last 9 home Serie A matches.
Fiorentina travel to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona having picked up a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Salernitana on Wednesday night. Fiorentina fell behind three times during the match but always managed to score the equalising goal, with the final goal coming in the 84th minute.
The draw at Salernitana means Fiorentina are undefeated in their 3 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
In addition to the 3-3 draw at Salernitana, Fiorentina comfortably beat Sampdoria 5-0 at home and were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Cremonese in the Coppa Italia semi-final, which was good enough to see them progress to the final.
Trends show there are no losses for Fiorentina in 10 of their most recent 11 games and they have scored 1 or more goals in all their last 11 league matches. Fiorentina have scored in each of their last 5 away Serie A games.
Team news and Napoli are without the injured duo of Matteo Politano and Mario Rui.
Fiorentina travel without injured goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and have doubts over the fitness of midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
The Napoli players and fans will be in a celebratory mood but Luciano Spalletti will ensure his squad are ready for the game. Fiorentina have been tough to beat in recent matches but such will be the mood inside the stadium, it could be a tough evening for the Viola.
We expect to see over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring, with Napoli winning the match.
