Draw or Napoli Win and Over 1.5 Goals
There is a 69% chance for a Napoli win which is the Blues’ average away victories. In addition, Napoli’s last seven away Serie A games produced over 1.5 goals which according to the statistics has an 88% chance of realizing.
Over 9 Total Corners
The average total corners in Empoli games is 10.06 and playing at home they usually win 5.50 corners. Empoli’s opponents meanwhile when playing at the Castellani win on average 4.88 corners.
Anytime Correct Score 0-1
In Empoli’s 11 of 16 home games, the opponents took a 1-0 lead. In the same sense, Napoli while playing on the road scored first in 13 of their 16 Serie A fixtures. Hence, we predict the Blues to take the lead first in this game.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Empoli vs Napoli
Empoli’s winless run continued last weekend as they lost to Udinese by 4-1 in Udine. With that defeat, the Blues have now lost and drew eight times in their last 16 Serie A fixtures. Incidentally, Empoli’s last win was over Napoli last December by 1-0 in Naples.
Collecting only three points from their last eight matches, Empoli dropped from an average of 1.03 points per game for the season to just 0.38. Moreover, boss Andreazzoli’s team scored twice in their last six games and failed to hit the opponent’s net in six of their last ten games.
Napoli just can’t seem to put the pressure on Milan and Inter after losing five points in their last two games. Nevertheless, manager Spaletti will be looking for his team’s fine away record to bounce back and keep their hopes alive for a first Scudetto win since 1990.
The Blues won their last three away games and are undefeated in their last nine trips. Moreover, scoring is not Napoli’s issue having scored in each of their last 11 away matches. However, Spaletti’s main concern will be with his defense which conceded at least a goal in their last nine Serie A fixtures.
Empoli vs Napoli Prediction
We expect Empoli’s winless run will continue against a Napoli side desperate for a win and who have an impressive away record to back that. Still, to be on the safe side we will pick a double chance of a draw or away win combined with over 1.5 goals for this crucial game.
