Napoli vs Fiorentina live preview Supercoppa Italiana
Napoli:
Inter Milan, having clinched the last two editions of the Supercoppa, is now eyeing a hat-trick. In contrast, Napoli, who have secured the trophy only twice in their history, with the last triumph occurring a decade ago, are seeking a resurgence.Napoli earned a spot in this season's expanded Supercoppa format by ending a three-decade-long Scudetto drought in the previous campaign. However, their title defense was swiftly derailed, and they now arrive in Saudi Arabia significantly trailing behind Serie A's leading duo, Inter and Juventus.
Fiorentina:
However, before pursuing the hat-trick, the Italian champions must overcome Fiorentina, who secured a 3-1 victory in Naples last October. Goals from Josip Brekalo, Giacomo Bonaventura, and Nico Gonzalez sealed the win for the Tuscans.Following that triumph, Fiorentina experienced three defeats in four games. Nevertheless, they have been on an upward trajectory since then and currently hold a coveted top-four position in Serie A.
Analysis:
It might require more than 90 minutes to distinguish between two evenly matched teams, as neither has had a strong start to the year. Although Fiorentina hasn't performed exceptionally well away from home, their recent success in knockout competitions is noteworthy. On the other hand, Napoli is facing challenges with the absence of key players and is evidently lacking the cohesion they displayed last year.
