We’re thinking that SSC Napoli have it within them to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Fiorentina could well struggle finding the net themselves but we do fancy them converting at least once here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 margin for SSC Napoli when the full-time whistle blows.
