Napoli vs Empoli

Napoli continue to maintain their pursuit of leaders Inter Milan as they host struggling Empoli in a Monday night Italian Serie A fixture.

The visitors are in the relegation zone and hoping to kick-start their survival push heading into the final weeks of the season. While the Neapolitans have looked a bit off colour lately, they remain solid at home and should have the upper hand here.

Napoli Form

Sitting second in the table, Napoli are aiming to match leaders Inter Milan all the way and head into Monday’s clash unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 Serie A matches. However a closer look at their recent form shows they have drawn six of their last nine matches, playing out a 1-1 scoreline at Bologna in their previous fixture.

Manager Antonio Conte will be keen to turn these draws into wins as Partenopei look to run down the defending champions. The good news is that they are back in Naples and have won five of their last seven Serie A home matches.

Napoli often like to make fast starts and have won the first half in three of their last four Serie A matches. However, the Neapolitans are generally not as dominant as they would like and three of their last five fixtures in the league have produced under 2.5 goals.

Empoli Form

While the hosts are battling for the title, Empoli also have much to play for in the final weeks of the season as they look to escape the drop. They are currently in the relegation zone, two points from safety and will be desperate for a win to spark their survival push.

The problem for Empoli is that their recent form does not inspire much hope having picked up just one win in their last 16 Serie A matches. Roberto D'Aversa's men will travel to Naples off the back of a 0-0 home draw with Cagliari in their previous fixture.

That result highlights a recent troubling trend for Empoli, who have now failed to score in three of their last four Serie A matches. This lack of cutting edge in attack has seen their last five league matches produce under 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Napoli have five wins while Empoli have been victorious three times in the last nine matches. The visitors also picked up a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in October.

Verdict

Napoli v Empoli

This fixture hardly produces high-scoring outcomes and with six of the last seven meetings between both teams offering up under 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected here. Napoli are expected to claim the upper hand here and should maintain their trend of winning the first half.

Napoli have won to nil in four of the last seven matches against Empoli and with the visitors struggling for goals at the moment, a similar outcome is on the cards.
