The Little Donkeys are also unbeaten in their last four matches at home in Serie A having recorded one draw and three successive wins at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
 
"The performance was good but we needed more determination in the final phase," Napoli manager Luciano Spallettei said after their draw with Fiorentina. 
 
"Then we had a sensational opportunity with Hirving Lozano and I think we must hit the target there, we can't miss an opportunity like this. The draw is positive looking at how it was achieved.
 
"Because it was a very difficult match which then turned out to be complicated. But I must say that if we had more lucidity in the final phase of action, then we could have won this game."

Meanwhile, Lecce were held to a 1-1- draw by Empoli FC at home in their last league match which was played on August 28.
 
Therefore, the Wolves are winless in their last four matches in this competition having recorded one draw and three consecutive defeats.
