What They're Saying

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis (via Football Italia): "Often the Neapolitan fans lose sight of reality, and are distracted by the dream of winning the Scudetto. I'm forced to do something different, and I have no time for the nonsense words of those who accuse us of not spending on the transfer market."

Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella (via Football Italia): "My hope is that the final of the Europa League is Fiorentina-Napoli. Partly because I'm Fiorentina coach, partly because I'm a fan of Italian football. We care about this competition."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: One of the many players Napoli have spent on in recent transfer windows is Gonzalo Higuain. In 28 league appearances, the 27-year-old has 13 goals and four assists.

Napoli's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Andujar; Strinic, Albiol, Koulibaly, Maggio; Lopez, Inler; Guzman, Hamsik, Callejon; Higuain

Fiorentina's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Neto; Pasqual, Rodriguez, Savic, Tomovic; Fernandez, Badelj, Kurtic; Salah, Babacar, Diamanti
