On Wednesday, at 18:00, Empoli will receive the Napoli visit in a match for the 30th Serie A. The game will take place at the Empoli’s “Carlo Castellani” stadium.
Napoli returned after a two-week competitive race as it could not have done better. Ancelotti’s band was forced into the most attractive match of the Serie A weekend, humiliating Rome even at home. 4-1 ended the match on “Olimpico” in favor of “Azzurri”, who passed the game in the second part, when they scored three goals. Now the situation is quite clear in the Serie A hierarchy. It is unlikely that Inter, Milan or any other team will reach Napoli until the end of the season. However, Ancelotti’s boys are “warming up” this week in the “double” championship of the UEFA Europa League against Arsenal.
In the last seven direct confrontations between the two bands, Napoli was imposed four times, Empoli only once, while the other two duels ended in a tie;
In the previous seven direct disputes, an average of over 4.5 goals / match is recorded;
The last direct match took place on the “San Paolo” tour, when Napoli made a definite 5-1;
Probable teams:
Empoli (3-5-2): Dragowski-Maietta, Silvestre, Dell’Orco- Di Lorenzo, Krunic, Bennacer, Traore, Pajac- Farias, Caputo
Napoli (4-4-2): Meret- Malcuit, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Mario Rui- Callejon, Allan, Zielinski, Verdi- Milik, Ounas
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a solid evolution of our guests. Considering the high value difference between the two bands, we believe that despite the pressure and motivation to get out of the “red zone,” Empoli will be helpless against the team that humiliated AS Roma even on “Olimpico”, enrolling No less than four goals on the weekend.
PREDICTION: Napoli to win @ 1,47
