The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Fiorentina lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important encounter at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday.

Napoli, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have already won the Serie A title this season. The Neapolitan outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Udinese last week and have a point to prove in this match.
