Serie A: Fiorentina vs Napoli Odds and Betting Preview

FLORENCE, ITALY - Fiorentina host Napoli this Friday evening in a Serie A clash at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence. Fiorentina are eleventh in the table but have two games in hand over most of the teams ahead of them in the league. Fiorentina are favourites for the game, priced at 7/5 (bet £5 to make £7 profit) with Boyle Sports to pick up their third win on the trot.

A draw is best priced at 11/5 with bet365 and Napoli can be backed at best odds of 9/4 with Stan James to pick up their second win in a week having beaten Chievo 2-0 on Monday night at the Stadio Sau Paulo.

That win saw Napoli move within striking distance of the European places, just two points off Inter Milan in fifth place who take on Bologna tonight at the San Siro. If Napoli can win and Inter loes, Walter Mazzarri's men could move into fifth.

In the total goals market, over 2.5 goals is priced at 5/4 with Paddy Power and under 2.5 goals is best priced at 4/6 with Boyle Sports. 63.6% of Fiorentina's home games have involved over 2.5 goals while only 45.5% of Napoli's away games have gone under 2.5 goals.

Fiorentina have been in superb form of late and are bidding for their third win on the trot having picked up back-to-back victories against Sienna at the end of January and then seeing off Udinese 2-1 a fortnight ago.

The Gigliatti have not played since then and head coach Delio Rossi will hope his side will be able to take the impetus from those two games into this encounter on fresh legs against a Napoli side who have had just four days to recover from their match against Chievo on Monday night and who have next week's Champions League tie against Chelsea on the horizon.

Edinson Cavani is the bookies favourite to open the scoring, priced at 11/2 with Paddy Power. In the same market, Jovetic is priced at 6/1 with Skybet, Amauri is best priced at 13/2 with totesport and Napoli front-man Ezequiel Lavezzi is quoted at top odds of 13/2 with Sportingbet.

The last three meetings between these sides ended in draws, the latest two goalless encounters. Before that the honours have been shared pretty evenly with Fiorentina winning four of the previous seven matches and Napoli winning the other three.

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is priced at 11/2 with betinternet, a 2-0 win for Fiorentina is best priced at 10/1 with Ladbrokes and a 1-0 win for Delio Rossi's men is quoted at top odds of 6/1 with Blue Square. A repeat of the goalless draw these two played out in the reverse fixture is priced at 15/2 with Coral and a 1-0 win for Napoli is best priced at 15/2 with Paddy Power.

The game is scheduled to kick-off at 19:45 GMT.
