Napoli enters with mixed recent form, having suffered a disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League and a heavy 3-0 loss at Juventus in Serie A. However, their home record remains exceptional with seven wins from eleven league matches at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Partenopei have shown resilience with victories over Sassuolo and crucial draws against top opposition. Key absences include Frank Anguissa's thigh injury and David Neres' ankle problem, significantly weakening their midfield creativity. Kevin De Bruyne's continued absence limits their attacking options, though they've adapted well. Victor Osimhen remains their primary goal threat when fit.

Fiorentina's form has been catastrophic, managing just three wins all season and currently occupying 18th position in the relegation zone. Their recent 3-1 Coppa Italia defeat to Como epitomizes their struggles, following a 2-1 home loss to Cagliari in Serie A. La Viola have won just twice at home this season, creating serious concerns about their ability to compete away from Florence. The absence of Tariq Lamptey through knee injury weakens their defensive options, while Fabiano Parisi and Roberto Piccoli remain questionable. Their attacking output has been woeful, scoring just 24 goals in 22 league matches. Manager pressure continues mounting with relegation becoming increasingly realistic.
