Napoli vs Empoli Predictions

• Napoli have scored three or more goals in seven of their last 10 matches, doing so against the likes of Rangers, Sassuolo and Ajax (twice).
• The hosts have won 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions, scoring 42 goals in that run.
• Empoli have lost three of their last six Serie A games, conceding nine goals across those defeats.

No stopping Partenopei

After seeing their 13-game winning run ended by Liverpool in the Champions League last week, some may have expected Napoli to finally slip up in league action when they went to second-placed Atalanta on Saturday. However, Luciano Spalletti’s men laid down a marker in the title race with a 2-1 victory in Bergamo, establishing a six-point lead at the summit, and they look likely to continue their fine form against Empoli.

Napoli have won 14 of their last 15 games, scoring an incredible 42 goals in that run. Spalletti’s side have hit three or more goals in seven of their last 10 games, recording comprehensive victories over the likes of Ajax, Sassuolo and Rangers, and have already hit the net 32 times in 13 Serie A matches this campaign. The free-scoring Partenopei have spread the goals around this term – seeing 13 players find the net in Serie A action – and should be expected to trouble Empoli.

The visitors have improved of late, posting victories over Monza and Sassuolo in their last three home matches, though they have conceded nine goals across heavy defeats to Milan, Juventus and Atalanta within their last six outings. Although Empoli managed a surprise league double over Napoli last season, they have only won once in six away league games this term, and this iteration of the Partenopei is a different beast.

Napoli likely to treble up

Napoli have conceded in eight of their last 11 matches, but their depth of attacking talent has propelled them to the Serie A summit, and they look likely to continue their free-scoring form on Tuesday.

Backing the hosts to hit over 2.5 goals may represent a decent play with few other markets offering value, while a 3-1 Napoli victory appears a strong correct score prediction.

Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen has hit eight Serie A goals this season – more than any other player in the competition – and always represents a decent anytime goalscorer play.
