Tonight, Artemio Franchi Stadium will host an anticipated clash as Fiorentina will host league leaders Napoli in a high-stakes Serie A encounter in the third round of the 2025/2026 season.
Napoli enter the match at the top of the table with six points from their opening two games, edging ahead of Juventus on goal difference.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, sit in 12th place with just two points from two draws.
Boosted by their perfect start, Napoli arrive in Florence with momentum and confidence under coach Antonio Conte, who has built a solid rhythm early in the campaign.
The southern giants will look to replicate last season’s performance in Florence, when they cruised to a 3–0 victory.
Fiorentina, under Stefano Pioli, have endured a less-than-ideal start but will hope to use tonight’s clash as a springboard in front of their home supporters.
Historically, the fixture has been closely contested.
According to Transfermarkt, Napoli and Fiorentina have met 175 times, with Napoli holding a narrow edge: 64 wins, 60 defeats, and 51 draws. The Partenopei have scored 217 goals in those meetings while conceding 209.
Saturday’s game also serves as an important dress rehearsal for Napoli ahead of their Champions League opener against English champions Manchester City on Thursday, September 18.
