&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina vs. Napoli kicks off the penultimate day of Serie A TIM. After victory against Monza, the Viola are looking for a repeat to try to finish as high as possible, taking into considering that their league campaign, who are also involved in the Conference final on 29 May 29 against Olympiakos, will end on 2 June against Atalanta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli, on the other hand, must put the defeat against Bologna behind them and return to winning a month and a half after the last time in order not to risk being left out of the European cups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 15 matches in Serie A (last keeping a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw against Lazio in January); the only occasion in which the Neapolitan team had a longer such run in the competition dates back to January 1998 (17, when Bortolo Mutti, Carlo Mazzone and Giovanni Galeone took turns on the Azzurri bench).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only Bayern Munich (18) have scored more headed goals than Fiorentina in the top-5 European Leagues in 2023-24 (17, level with Arsenal); on the other hand, only Udinese (14) and Lecce (13) have conceded more such goals than Napoli (12, equal to Frosinone) in Serie A this term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina have won two of their last four matches against Napoli in Serie A (D1 L1), as many successes as in their previous 15 matches against the Neapolitan team in the competition (D4 L9). Overall, Viola have achieved 55 victories against Napoli in the tournament (D40 L52), only against Bologna (57) have the Viola won more games in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the 3-1 success in the reverse fixture last October, Fiorentina could win both games against Napoli in a Serie A season for the first time since 1995-96, under Claudio Ranieri in that case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have lost only one of their last 14 away matches against Fiorentina in Serie A (W7 D6); among the teams they’ve faced at least four times in the last 15 top-flight seasons (since 2009-10), only against Cagliari (zero in 13 away matches) have the Azzurri recorded fewer defeats away from home than against the Viola in the tournament (1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seven of the last 12 goals scored by Nicolás González in Serie A have come from headers.
