Betting on Empoli
Empoli couldn’t secure three points last week, as they settled for a draw against Fiorentina, who managed to equalize in the dying minutes of the game. Despite their strong first-half performance, the Azzurri couldn’t hold on to their lead.
This result means that Empoli has gone three consecutive games without a victory in the Italian championship. However, this isn’t a significant concern for them as they are currently in twelfth place in the overall standings, with 28 points and a comfortable 11-point lead over the relegation zone.
Their primary objective is to maintain their category in the league, and they appear to be well on track to achieve it. Without any pressure, they aim to deliver an excellent performance in the remaining games of the campaign. To do so, they must navigate through tough fixtures, such as this one against Napoli. Fortunately, they have fond memories of their last home match against Napoli, where they clinched a 3-2 victory last season.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Guglielmo Vicario; Tyronne Ebuehi, Ardian Ismajli, Sebastiano Luperto, Liberato Cacace; Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, Razvan Marin, Filippo Bandinelli; Filippo Bandinelli; Nicolo Cambiaghi, Francesco Caputo.
Betting on Napoli
Napoli’s dominance in the Serie A is evident, as they currently hold a 15-point lead over their closest competitors in the overall standings. This significant gap puts them in a promising position to clinch their first top-flight championship in 32 years.
Their impressive performances this season have been consistent, not only in the domestic league but also in European competitions. They head into the upcoming round of Serie A matches fresh off a 2-0 victory over Frankfurt in the Champions League, a result that hardly reflects the number of opportunities they had during the game.
The win against Frankfurt marks the sixth consecutive victory for Luciano Spalletti’s side in all competitions. This feat puts them among the top-performing teams in Europe currently.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Min-Jae Kim, Mathías Olivera; Andre Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Piotr Zielinski; Hirving Lozano, Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
JefeBet Prediction
The first leg meeting between the two sides ended in a comfortable 2-0 win for Napoli, a scoreline that would not be surprising to see repeated this time around, as there seems to be no team that can stop this powerhouse.
Not surprisingly, even away from home they have given a superlative performance, winning 10 of the 12 matches they have held in the Italian tournament, and being defeated in just one. Therefore, nothing other than a victory is expected for the visitors in this Saturday’s clash.
Prediction: Napoli Asian Handicap (EMP 0-2 NAP).
