Napoli’s sensational season set to continue against Empoli

On Tuesday night, Serie A leaders Napoli hosts Empoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as the home side look to maintain their big lead at the top of the table.

Napoli

Luciano Spalletti’s team are six points clear at the top of the Serie A table. A 2-1 win at Atalanta last time out means that the Azzurri have now recorded nine straight victories in the Italian top flight. They are also unbeaten in 17 Serie A matches dating back to April.

Napoli's attacking prowess is a big reason for their recent good results, as the league leaders have scored at least two goals in six of their previous seven league matches.

Nigerian international forward Victor Osimhen has been in red-hot form in front of goal, scoring six times in his last four league appearances.

Unsurprisingly, considering their recent form, Napoli has a strong recent home record, as they are unbeaten in nine home games, having recorded seven wins.

Empoli

The visitors are in 14th place in the Serie A table, having picked up 14 points from their 13 matches in Serie A this season. As their points tally suggests, they have been inconsistent of late in the Italian top flight.

Their recent record in the league of winning three games, losing three, and drawing one sums up their league form this season.

Unlike their hosts, Empoli’s recent league matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games in Serie A.

Empoli have not been the greatest of travellers in recent seasons in Serie A, as the visitors have won just two of their last 17 away games in the Italian top-flight.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Napoli’s excellent recent league record will continue in this clash, with the home side winning another high-scoring affair.
