Empoli vs Napoli Prediction: Serie A Match on 25.02.2023

The Serie A leaders will be looking to take another step to the title this term on Saturday when they travel to Empoli. The hosts have been in steady recent form, as they have lost just once in their last four. But, could they stop Napoli’s dominant forward line this weekend?

    

Serie A Preview

Napoli is charging relentlessly toward their first Serie A title in over 20 years. They currently sit 15 points clear at the top of the standings, and they come into this fixture after winning each of their previous six. It looks hard to bet against Napoli winning the title this term, while they could also be a force in Europe after recording a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League in midweek.

The team from Naples continued to press ahead in the league last week, as they recorded a very straightforward away win against Sassuolo. Kvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the opening goal after 12 minutes, before the points were wrapped up before the half time break by Victor Osimhen.

Empoli will have the daunting challenge of trying to stop Napoli this weekend. They have eased clear of the bottom three over recent weeks, and they currently boast an eleven-point advantage over the relegation places in the current standings. However, the wins have dried up in recent weeks, as Empoli has gone four without a win.

They have been held to three draws over that period, including in their most recent match against Fiorentina. Nicolo Cambiaghi scored the opening goal for Empoli in that fixture, but they were denied victory after Fiorentina equalised in the final five minutes. Still, the very best that they can likely manage on Saturday is a draw against an in-form Napoli.

Empoli vs Napoli Head to Head

Empoli has recorded two wins in the previous two seasons against Napoli. However, Napoli was comfortable 2-0 winners in the previous meeting between the sides this season. They will be looking for back-to-back clean sheets against Empoli for the first time since the 1986-87 season.  

Empoli vs Napoli Prediction

Napoli has been a standout team across Europe this season, and it’s hard to see them losing another domestic game this term. We expect them to comfortably claim the points on the road against Empoli this weekend, and a 2-0 win could be a good value play.
