Napoli will be hosting Fiorentina at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on March 9, 2025, looking to repeat their dominant performance from earlier this season. Remember that 3-0 drubbing they handed Fiorentina back in January? Yeah, that wasn't pretty for the Viola faithful.Antonio Conte's squad has been rock solid lately, with five wins in their last ten matches and only one defeat. Their home form? Even better! They've gone unbeaten in their last five home games with three wins and two draws. That's the kind of record that makes teams dread the trip to Naples.Those big wins against Juventus at home and Atalanta away show they're not intimidated by the league's heavy hitters. Their only recent hiccup was that surprising 2-1 loss to Como. Everyone has bad days, right?

If Raffaele Palladino is losing sleep, it's probably over his team's away form. Just one win in their last five road games? Ouch. They've leaked nine goals while only scoring six during that stretch. Not exactly confidence-inspiring numbers heading into the lion's den.But don't count them out completely! Fiorentina has shown they can punch above their weight, as evidenced by that stunning 3-0 victory over Inter last month. And let's not forget their hard-fought away win against Lazio in January. They've got the talent to surprise anyone on their day.The real question is: which Fiorentina will show up in Naples? The one that dismantled Inter, or the one that fell to Monza?

If you're big on history, you might want to put your money on the home team. Napoli has dominated this fixture over the years, winning 22 matches compared to Fiorentina's 10, with 11 draws sprinkled in between. The goal difference is just as lopsided – Napoli has found the net 67 times while Fiorentina has managed 44.Their most recent encounter was a nightmare for Fiorentina fans. Napoli waltzed into Florence and walked out with a comfortable 3-0 win. Talk about adding insult to injury on your home turf! Can Fiorentina get some revenge, or will it be more of the same?The odds certainly favor Conte's men, with bookmakers giving Napoli a 61.1% chance of victory compared to just 15.2% for Fiorentina. But hey, that's why they play the games, isn't it?

When these teams last met, Napoli's attack carved through Fiorentina's defense like a hot knife through butter. Palladino has surely been working overtime to patch up those defensive holes. Will it be enough?Conte's system has made Napoli tough to break down at home – just three goals conceded in their last five at the Maradona. They're not just solid at the back either, having banged in seven goals during that same stretch.Fiorentina's best hope might be to channel the spirit they showed against Inter. Catch Napoli napping early, grab a goal, and make things uncomfortable. Easier said than done, though, especially in Naples where the crowd becomes that famous '12th man.'With both managers known for their tactical acumen, this could turn into a fascinating chess match. Who'll make the first big move? We'll find out when the referee blows that first whistle in what promises to be an enthralling Serie A encounter.
