Fiorentina, on the other hand, has won six, drawn two, and lost two of their last 10 games in all competitions.

Napoli has lost both their last two home matches, while Fiorentina has not lost in their last two away matches. So, it is likely that Fiorentina will not lose this match in regular time. And 2.20 odds are available for the same at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.65

Over 2.5 goals were scored in five of the last ten head-to-head matchups, for a total of 29 goals scored at an average of 2.9 goals per match. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in six of Napoli’s last ten matches in all competitions. Fiorentina has seen over 2.5 goals in seven of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in three of the last five home matches that Napoli has played, while the last three away fixtures of Fiorentina have seen over 2.5 goals in two of those matches. So, over 2.5 goals could be a feature of this match at 1.65 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

As per the odds Napoli is likely to qualify for the next round, but Fiorentina is likely to make it to the next phase of the tournament. But that wouldn’t be that easy for Fiorentina as they will be playing away from home.
