Napoli vs Empoli: This is the toughest match a team can have on the road at the moment, and there is really not much to suggest a positive scenario for the visitors in this midweek affair in Naples.
To make matters worse for Paolo Zanetti, his men did not look good in the recent games either. They lost to Juventus and Atalanta in back-to-back games, giving up six goals without scoring a single one.
Empoli dropped to the bottom half of the league standings as a consequence of its slower run of form in the most recent matches.

Napoli, on the other side, have no intention of slowing down. They are the current Serie A leaders with ten wins in the opening twelve outings, and they have also topped their UEFA Champions League group ahead of the likes of Liverpool, Ajax, and Rangers.
Also, Luciano Spalletti’s men boast the league’s best scoring record, having bagged 30 goals in the league’s inaugural 12 matches. Considering that Empoli allowed four goals to Juventus in the previous away fixture in Serie A, we can expect another comprehensive victory for I Partenopei in their last home match before the World Cup.
Napoli vs Empoli – Betting Analysis
Napoli will be extra motivated to get revenge for the two defeats to Empoli in the previous term of Serie A. Napoli have six wins, two draws, and two defeats in the last ten home clashes against Empoli, though, and the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score pick landed in five of the previous six head-to-head matches.
The gulf in quality between these rivals is huge, and we can hardly expect anything else but Napoli’s convincing victory today. We like the 2.20 odds for the hosts to win both halves as well as the attractive 3.00 odds offered for Napoli to win the first half by at least two goals difference.
