- Venue: Stadio Artemio Franchi
Fiorentina are still searching for their first win of the 2025/26 Serie A season after opening with two draws. The task will be far from easy, as they welcome reigning Scudetto holders Napoli to the Stadio Artemio Franchi for Saturday’s late kick-off.
Napoli remain unbeaten after two rounds, though their victories have been hard-fought rather than dominant.

Serie A
Napoli have held the upper hand in recent meetings with Fiorentina. The Partenopei earned a convincing 3-0 victory in Florence back in January, followed by a 2-1 home win in March. Stretching further back, Antonio Conte’s side are unbeaten in their last three clashes with La Viola.
Fiorentina team overview
After sneaking into the European places on the final day of last season, Fiorentina have made a fairly underwhelming start to the new campaign. A 1-1 draw away to Cagliari and a goalless stalemate at home to Torino mean they are still unbeaten, but they have scored just once in two matches, underlining their struggles in attack.
In terms of personnel, Christian Kouamé has been ruled out with injury, while Albert Gudmundsson is a doubt and may not feature.

Napoli team overview
The champions have opened their title defence with back-to-back victories. Napoli began with a professional 2-0 away win at Sassuolo before edging past Cagliari 1-0 at home. Although Conte’s men have not looked especially fluent going forward - producing a combined xG of just 2.77 across those two fixtures - their efficiency in front of goal and trademark defensive solidity have secured maximum points.
Napoli will, however, be without key players. Amir Rrahmani and Romelu Lukaku are both sidelined through injury. On the positive side, new signing Rasmus Højlund is expected to make his debut, possibly from the bench.

Prediction
Napoli have collected six points from a possible six, combining ruthless finishing with strong defensive discipline - traits that highlight their champion’s mentality. Fiorentina, by contrast, are struggling to convert possession into goals, with just one scored in two games.
Given that Napoli are unbeaten in their last seven away meetings with Fiorentina and arrive with superior form and squad depth, Conte’s men look well placed to extend their perfect start. A third straight win for Napoli appears the most likely outcome, with a 2-0 away victory a plausible scoreline.
Three reasons we expect Napoli to Win
- Napoli have won both of their opening matches in the 2025/26 Serie A season.
- Fiorentina remain winless, having failed to claim victory in either of their first two games.
- Napoli are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A away fixtures against Fiorentina, winning four of them.
