-----------------------------
Napoli are looking to steady their season when they host Fiorentina at Stadio Maradona after suffering back-to-back defeats. Losses to Juventus and in Europe have ended their title defense hopes. Fiorentina arrive with different priorities, as they continue battling to avoid relegation.

Team Analysis:
Napoli’s season has unraveled after heavy defeats to Juventus and Chelsea, ending their Champions League run and leaving them nine points off the Serie A summit. Despite recent setbacks, they remain strong at Stadio Maradona, where they are unbeaten in 21 league matches and have already beaten Fiorentina this season. Fiorentina arrive struggling near the bottom, with poor away form and back-to-back losses slowing their push for survival.

Player Situation:
Napoli continue to battle a severe injury crisis, with several key players sidelined and attacking options stretched thin. While Alex Meret has returned in goal, the hosts are still without important defenders and wingers, and their forwards are struggling for form. Fiorentina also face fitness concerns up front, but Rolando Mandragora remains their main threat as they search for goals.

Result Prediction:
Napoli’s current struggles make this a rare moment when visiting Naples feels less intimidating. Fiorentina, while far from flawless, have shown signs of improvement after recent changes to their squad. With both sides under pressure, a hard-fought draw looks like a realistic outcome.

Predicted Result: Napoli 1-1 Fiorentina.
