Even though the ‘Derby d’Italia’ is considered to be the game between Inter and Juventus, as far as I am concerned, based on the form of both teams this season, today’s ‘Derby d’Italia’ is the game between Napoli and Fiorentina.
NAPOLI
Napoli has managed an amazing 0-4 away win against Milan in its last game in the league with Insigne scoring 2 goals in it. There is still no direct talk within the team about the prospects of winning the league but the truth is that Napoli can do it if it keeps on in this form.
It is worth mentioning that Napoli has had 6 over 2.5 goals outcomes in 7 games this season and 3 over 2.5 goals outcomes in 3 home games, a run which actually extents to 8 over 2.5 goals outcomes and 5 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its last 8 games if we include the games from last season.
Possible line up in a 4-3-3 formation: Reina, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam, Jorginho, Allan, Hamsik, Callejon, Higuain, Insigne
FIORENTINA
Fiorentina’s 3-0 home win against Atalanta in its last game for the league has brought the team on the top of the table for the first time since 1999 and after a total of 540 games. It is coming from 5 consecutive wins, including a 1-4 win against Inter in its last away game.
Fiorentina has had 8 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its last 9 away games including 6 from the previous season, 7 of which have ended with at least 4 goals in them. Fiorentina will be missing the services of Gilberto, Bakic, Pasqual and Rebic.
Possible line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation: Tatarusanu, Roncaglia, Rodriguez, Astori, Blaszczykowksi, Vecino, Badelj, Alonso, Ilicic, Valero, Kalinic
Prediction
Considering this season’s form that both teams are into as well as their over 2.5/over 3.5 goals outcomes when considering games from the last season too;
Goal/goal & over 2.5 goals, odd: 2.30 @ BET365
