Napoli vs Empoli Betting Prediction: Game Analysis
High-flying Napoli took another major step towards a potential Scudetto later this season with a 2-1 win over Atalanta at the weekend. Napoli is rolling.
‘La Dea’ took the lead early in that game through an Ademola Lookman penalty, however, Napoli stormed back with two goals inside just 12 minutes to take command of the game before the first half was even over.
Empoli Wins Too, Though
Empoli secured a fantastic win over Sassuolo on Saturday themselves, but have looked fairly fragile away from home this year, winning just one game on the road all season.
Empoli secured a shock 3-2 win over Napoli back in April and have actually won three of the last four head-to-heads against the Neapolitans in Serie A competition.
Napoli vs Empoli Prediction Background : Empoli Hope They Can Maintain The Pace This Season
While Empoli have started this season in solid form, ranking as a top ten side in overall away form this year, this is not a new phenomenon for Empoli who ranked 8th in the league at this point last year before a late-season collapse.
That dramatic drop-off for Empoli over the back half of last season saw them rank second from bottom from January 1st on, ahead of only bottom of the table Venezia in 20th, securing just 14 points from a possible 57 to close out the season.
Betting Pick : Napoli Continue To Buck Early Season Projections
With the departure of Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne, and Kalidou Koulibaly in the summer transfer window to pastures new, a lot of people expected a drop-off in Napoli’s performances from last season, especially with little in the way of proven talent coming back to the club in the other direction.
However, manager Luciano Spaletti has masterminded the emergence of one of Europe’s powerhouses this season, blowing out their Serie A competitors with a six-point cushion early at the top of the Serie A table and finishing top of their recent Champions League group also ahead of English heavyweights Liverpool. This should give you a pretty good idea of where the Napoli vs Empoli prediction is heading..
Napoli vs Empoli Prediction
While Empoli have owned the recent head-to-head meetings against Napoli, the latter’s numbers have been absolutely on fire this season and we expect a comprehensive win for the home side here on Tuesday.
The Neapolitans own an enormous gulf in both xG data and xGA data over their Tuscan rivals this season and it would be a huge shock if they were unable to secure the win in this one.
Saying that however, laying a full two-goal headstart here on the Serie A league leaders doesn’t appeal that much either, so we’re instead going to go with the win-to-nil prop in this one.
Empoli rank 2nd from bottom in offensive xG away from home this year and 4th from bottom over their last five starts as well, so this could well be one-way traffic here on Tuesday against a team in Napoli who have won both of their recent two games inside the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to nil.
So what’s the Napoli vs Empoli prediction? Easy.
Take Napoli to win to nil at +110 on Tuesday against Empoli over in Italian Serie A.
