When Fiorentina and Napoli square off in Florence on Sunday night, both teams will be looking to maintain their perfect starts to the Serie A season.
Napoli has won their last two matches to go to the top of the Serie A standings after two matches. The only other teams with a perfect score are Inter Milan and Roma.
Fiorentina, who obtained a victory and a draw, are currently in seventh place. As a result, they are two points behind Napoli going into the match on Sunday.
With a 3-2 victory over Cremonese, Fiorentina began their season. Before Rolando Mandragora struck the game-winning goal in the 95th minute, Giacomo Bonaventura and Luke Jovic both scored in the first half.
It is important to note that Fiorentina had 28 shots and 75% of the ball on the opening weekend.
Last time out, Fiorentina had 64% possession and 19 shots, but Empoli held them to a scoreless draw. Unbelievably, they only succeeded in getting two shots on target.
Fiorentina have only lost one of their last nine home Serie A games as a result of a strong conclusion to the prior game. Can they win on Sunday without falling?
While this was going on, Napoli defeated Verona 5-2, dominating the game with 67% possession and 25 shots.
When they last played, they defeated Monza 4-0. Victor Osimhen scored for the second game in a row, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia recorded a hat trick.
Napoli enters Matchday 3 of the Serie A season on a six-game winning streak after winning their final four games of the previous campaign.
Even better, Napoli has won all four of its most recent Serie A games by three goals or more. That obviously isn't good news for Fiorentina.
When the two teams have faced off in Serie A, Fiorentina has only prevailed four times.
More recently, Napoli has scored a total of 12 goals in their last four league victories over Fiorentina, winning three of those games.
Team news: Gaetano Castrovilli, Igor, and Szymon Zurkowski are presently out for Fiorentina due to injuries.
On the other hand, Diego Demme, a midfielder for Napoli, won't be available on Sunday as he continues to heal from a foot injury.
