Napoli, Recent FormNapoli will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Atalanta. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Atalanta's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Luciano Spalletti will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 17 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 5 goals during those same matches. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 10 games.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 9 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 17 games.
On an individual basis, Victor Osimhen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona having scored 7 goals in Napoli's last 6 home games in the league.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Sassuolo. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Sassuolo who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Paolo Zanetti will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Empoli sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 3-2.
Azzurri will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Napoli.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Empoli has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Napoli in 3 games.
With only Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Back) and Amir Rrahmani (Groin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luciano Spalletti will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Empoli manager Paolo Zanetti has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Koni De Winter (Hamstring), Alberto Grassi (Rib) and Lorenzo Tonelli (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
