Quotes
 
“We wanted that extra goal to give to them [the Napoli fans]," Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti said after his side drew with Salernitana.
 
"As far as I am concerned, this just extends the enjoyment, as I am not uncomfortable being in this position at the top of the table. It just carries on the celebration a little longer, as I am convinced we’ll get those two points.
 
"Even if by chance we should win, it’ll give me more pleasure to see the people celebrate, because we sense the affection loud and clear in our ears and minds," he added.
 
We represent their dream, so consequently it is only right they feel that dream."
 
Head-to-Head 
 
The two teams drew 0-0 in their last meeting in the league which was on 28 August 2022 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
 
Therefore, Napoli are winless in their last two Serie A matches against Fiorentina having recorded one draw and one defeat.
