Osimhen-less Napoli are desperate to make amends in Super Cup against Viola

Napoli meet Fiorentina in the Supercoppa semifinal on Thursday in Riyadh, with Inter Milan and Lazio being the other contenders for the trophy.

After a horrible current Serie A season, that Super Cup quest is the only realistic opportunity for the Osimhen-less Partenopei to claim a trophy in 2024.

They were eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Frosinone, and the Champions League knockout-stage clash against Barcelona only promises a little. The Supercoppa Italiana is the least coveted of all the trophies on offer.

However, despite all that, Walter Mazzarri's side is focused on the upcoming challenge and are the favourites against Fiorentina.

Still, even if Napoli emerges victorious, it won't appease their ultras, who were left reeling by the mediocre displays of players that created history last term. Yet it could be the only high point in a nightmarish campaign of missteps and misdirection that few will remember fondly.
