After losing both two trips to Genova and Rome, Fiorentina are now 7 points away from 5th position. A bad finish to 2016 could put Paulo Sousa’s job at serious risk as they are now a long way from their pre-season target.
Napoli should have humilated Torino when they entered half-time 3-0 up on Sunday. However, while defeat was never in question, they did allow Torino back in the game and they will need to cut out those defensive mistakes to maintain their pursuit of Juventus at the top of the league.
The visitors are favourite here since they are in better form and have better morale, but Fiorentina gave a good reaction in the last minutes against Lazio and Paulo Sousa could try to use it as a lesson for his players.
