Florence, Italy – Football no dey sleep o! This Saturday evening, Fiorentina go face Napoli for Artemio Franchi Stadium in one serious Serie A match. As we dey yarn now, Napoli dey shine like new penny, sitting second for table with maximum points from their first two matches. Dem don play two, win two, no score conceded. If dat no sweet you, make you check your taste buds!
Last week, Napoli sabi show their prowess as dem beat Sassuolo with 2-0. New boy, Kevin De Bruyne, don dey fire on all cylinders, scoring one goal, while Scott McTominay join am for goal party. With dem clean sheet wey dem run for this season, e be like say Napoli be rock solid. Na dem defending champions, but e like dem wan show say dem no go take back seat for this season.
But no forget say Fiorentina no be pushovers! Last season, dem finish sixth and dem sabi hold fort for home. Under new manager, Pioli, who step in after Raffaele Palladino waka go, dem go try hold dem own for this match. Even though dem lose to Napoli for their last home clash, dis season, dem know say dem fit run am again. Dem draw their last two games without scoring, so dem dey find their groove back (sometimes e dey hard to find that groove like your ex’s phone number).
Fiorentina don dey prepare well too. Dem no fit boast of victory yet this season, but dem score seven goals in four games, so we fit see some firepower. Pioli dey hope say his boys fit find their shooting boots before Napoli come fire dem. Alonso Kean dey join the squad gisting, and with him tally of three international goals, who no go reason say maybe e fit bring the goals wey dem dey seek?
Napoli lineup go include talents like Meret, Di Lorenzo and Lobotka. Dem dey position well to unleash hot attacks. On the other hand, Fiorentina go field players like De Gea and Comuzzo; e go be like solid wall for dem. E fit be better for dem to defend well against Napoli’s fast attackers or else, dem fit pack four for their nets before second half!
What we dey expect for dis match? Well, both teams no fit keep clean sheet for the last five meetings, so we suppose expect plenty goals (like say dem dey chop jollof rice on top hot fire!). The last time dem meet, Napoli win with 2-1 for their own turf, so dem fit use that confidence enter dis match.
So guys, if you dey plan to put your money for dis match, the odds dey favor Napoli as away winner. But if you wan play smart, consider the “no goals for both teams” market – after all, Napoli don show their defensive prowess since the season start. Kick-off dey near o, don’t miss the fun!
