Napoli will welcome Fiorentina to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.
Gennaro Gattuso warned Napoli ‘need to be more balanced’ after their 3-2 Coppa Italia win over Empoli. ‘We allow too many counter-attacks.’ The Partenopei struggled to get the better of the Serie B side at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Round of 16 tie. “It was a great performance, we suffered against some talented young players and knew it was important to give playing time to those who hadn’t featured as much, so it would be difficult,” Gattuso told media.
“We allowed a few too many counter-attacks, so certainly need more balance at the weekend. If you look at all the clubs competing in Europe this season, they have all been quite inconsistent, as since COVID there’s no difference between home and away. We can improve, as we certainly dropped a few too many points along the way.’’ Gattuso is now doing far better after suffering the effects of an auto-immune disease that left him fatigued and with eye problems. Empoli had to do without three players and their coach, as although they tested negative for COVID-19, they were still ordered to self-isolate by the Naples ASL (local health authority).
Gennaro Gattuso is without first-choice full-back Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who is suspended, so Elseid Hysaj should cover on the right of Napoli's four-man defense, from which mainstay Kostas Manolas will also be missing due to a thigh strain. Nikola Maksimovic is favored over Amir Rrahmani to join Kalidou Koulibaly in the center. As Victor Osimhen is still positive for COVID-19, Andrea Petagna should provide a front-line focal point, assisted by the trio of Hirving Lozano, Piotr Zielinski, and Lorenzo Insigne. Dries Mertens could get his minutes ahead of the much-anticipated match with Juventus in the Suppercoppa Italiana next week.
Napoli (4-3-3): Alex Meret, Mario Rui, Kalidou Koulibaly, Amir Rrahmani, Elseid Hysaj, Fabian Ruiz, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Piotr Zielinski, Hirving Lozano, Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne
Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli felt the referee and VAR should’ve re-evaluated the winning Inter goal in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. The Viola had canceled out the Arturo Vidal penalty with a Christian Kouame effort, but Romelu Lukaku’s free header sealed it in the final minute of extra time. “There are great disappointment and regret, but we are also proud of the performance, as we were a minute away from pushing Inter to penalties,” said the coach in his press conference.
There were complaints about the Lukaku goal, as Lucas Martinez Quarta said he was fouled by the Belgian, showing some scratches on his neck via social media after the game. “Recent performances have been good, and we still need to break away from the danger zone in Serie A, but we hope these games can help our self-belief to grow. We need more confidence when facing certain moments of the match.” Franck Ribery was again out injured, so Kouame got a rare start and found the back of the net too.
Fiorentina has doubts over the fitness of veteran pair Franck Ribery and Borja Valero, with captain German Pezzella expected to return to the center of a three-man defense having overcome a thigh injury. Dusan Vlahovic will reclaim the center-forward role from Christian Kouame, despite the Ivorian's cup goal against Inter, having now established himself as number one in the pecking order.
Fiorentina (3-4-2-1): Bartlomiej Dragowski, Nikola Milenkovic, Lucas Martinez Quarta, Igor, Martin Caceres, Sofyan Amrabat, Erick Pulgar, Cristiano Biraghi, Jose Callejon, Giacomo Bonaventura, Dusan Vlahovic

Napoli as Gattuso noted is playing with the style that is adventurous and favorable for the counter-attacking teams. Fiorentina could exploit that on some level, so both teams to score is a reasonable bet.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
