Napoli to maintain title charge at Empoli
Empoli FC vs SSC Napoli - 24/04/2022
4042
On Sunday afternoon, Empoli hosts Napoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani, in a massive Serie A clash for the visitor's chances of winning the Scudetto this season.
Empoli has all but secured their Serie A status, as Aurelio Andreazzoli’s team is now 12 points clear of the drop zone in the Italian top-flight. Despite their relatively comfortable position in the league standings, the home team has failed to win any of their last 16 matches in the Italian top-flight.
Last time out, Empoli suffered a 4-1 defeat at Udinese. The game broke a low-scoring trend for the home side, as their previous five league matches had all produced under 2.5 goals.
Empoli has a poor recent home record in the Italian top-flight, as they have failed to win in their last seven league matches on home soil. A lack of clean sheets has been a big factor in that recent home record, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their previous 17 home matches in Serie A.
Napoli still has hope in the race for the Scudetto. However, Luciano Spalletti’s team heads into this clash third-place in the Serie A table, four points adrift of league leaders Milan. Picking up just a point from their last two games against Fiorentina and Roma has seriously hampered Napoli’s title challenge.
The back-to-back poor results in Serie A mean that the Partenopei have now won just four of their last nine league matches, which is certainly not the form of a title-winning team.
Napoli has a strong recent away record in Serie A, as they are unbeaten in nine matches on their travels, having recorded six victories. The visitors have also scored at least two goals in five of their last six league games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Napoli will record a victory in a high-scoring game to maintain their interest in the race for the Scudetto.
