Samp set to struggle as flying Napoli visit

Eleven Sports 2 from 5pm

Fiorentina v UdineseEleven Sports 2, 5pm

Fiorentina’s 6-1 thrashing of Chievo has left the layers in no doubt over the likely outcome of their next challenge, though Udinese should be a far sterner test.

They fought back from 2-0 down to draw at Parma and then pipped Sampdoria 1-0, playing well on the counter for long periods. La Viola did do the double over Udinese last season.

Recommendation
Both teams to score
1pt 17-20 Hills

Key stat
Fiorentina’s last seven Serie A matches have produced 30 goals.

Sampdoria v NapoliEleven Sports 2, 7.30pm

Two come-from-behind wins against Lazio and Milan have given Napoli maximum points and demonstrated their title credentials.

They should fancy their chances at Sampdoria, who they haven’t lost to since 2010 with 11 wins and three draws in that time. Samp look a work in progress judged by their tame 1-0 loss at Udinese.

Recommendation
Napoli & over 1.5 goals
1pt 3-4 Coral, Ladbrokes

Key stat
Napoli have scored at least two goals in each of their last seven showdowns with Sampdoria.
