Napoli vs Empoli Preview and Team News
Napoli Team News
Napoli, chasing the Serie A title this season, will not have it easier than playing against relegation-threatened Empoli in the 32nd round this Monday.
The home squad are known for their impeccable defensive work. They will, however, be without the services of Andre-Frank Anguissa and Giovanni Di Lorenzo as both are suspended.
These players are crucial to Antonio Conte’s side, and the former Chelsea boss will have to make some adjustments to allow for their absence.

Leonardo Spinazzola, Nikita Contini, and Scott McTominay may also be unavailable for selection in this game due to injuries.
The latter, who used to play for Man United, is a doubtful starter due to a contusion, and Conte will hope that he gets fit enough to make it at least to the bench.

Napoli predicted lineup vs Empoli: (4-3-3): Meret; Jesus, Rrahmani, Marin, Olivera; Billing, Lobotka, Gilmour; Politano, Lukaku, Neres.
Empoli Team News
Empoli, ranked 18th in the league table, will hope to come away with at least one point by the end of the evening after this stressful game away in Naples.
The visiting side have conceded a whopping 47 goals in the Serie A this season, which means their defenders have not done their jobs properly.
Very little is going Empoli’s way this term, and their worries in the final third will be compounded by the fact that they’ve only scored one goal in their last 5 games.

More worryingly, the fact that they have not been able to get onto the scoresheet in their last 2 encounters will trouble the visitors. Moreover, they haven’t won a match in 6 attempts.
Like Napoli, Empoli have a long list of hurt players in their ranks, which includes Ardian Ismajli, Christian Kouame, Tino Anjorin, Marco Silvestri, and Youssef Maleh, among others.
Nicolaas Haas, Pietro Pellegri and Saba Sazonov, meanwhile, have sustained ACL injuries and are ruled out for the rest of the season.
Empoli predicted lineup vs Napoli
Empoli predicted lineup vs Napoli: (3-4-2-1): Vasquez; Goglichidze, Marianucci, Viti; De Sciglio, Grassi, Henderson, Pezzella; Esposito, Cacace; Colombo.
Bet hereNapoli vs Empoli Prediction
- Pick: Napoli to win
- Odds: 1.304 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Napoli 3-0 Empoli
The home squad are the favourites in this game. We expect them to win it comfortably and by a decent margin. They’ve been victorious in 9 out of the 17 matches recorded between these two teams, which proves their historical supremacy.
At home, Napoli’s strength has far outweighed Empoli’s willingness to push past the pain barrier. They’ve won six out of the nine H2H meetings.
We expect the hosts to coast easily, just like they did in the reverse fixture played in October 2024. Back then, Napoli beat Empoli 1-0 away from home.
Napoli vs Empoli Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: 1.42 (22Bet)
A total of over 2 goals is our prediction for Monday’s game, with Napoli being expected to do the bulk of the scoring.
Their forward line, led by none other than former Man United, Chelsea and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, looks more fearsome than Empoli’s
However, the visiting side have enough skill in their ranks to trouble the Napoli defenders, and we can look forward to a bit of a fight from them too.
The fact that they’re almost destined to get relegated if their fortunes do not turn around quickly enough should give them all the motivation they need.
