Napoli to Win to Nil
Napoli have won seven assignments on the bounce in Serie A and the champions-elect managed to keep a clean sheet in an impressive five of those victories. Back in November, they shut out Empoli in a 2-0 triumph in Naples and the title-chasing Partenopei are solid enough defensively to repeat that feat when they visit the Stadio Carlo Castellani for the return fixture on Saturday. With that in mind, our first Empoli vs Napoli prediction recommends a stake on the visitors to win to nil.
Victor Osimhen to Score Anytime
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen just cannot stop scoring and the 24-year-old rattled the net for the sixth game in a row in midweek when he found his range in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. In Serie A, Osimhen has scored 18 times in 18 starts this season and the lethal finisher can be backed to register again with confidence this weekend.

Empoli vs Napoli Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Empoli vs Napoli lineups and team news for Saturday’s game below.
Empoli
Mattia Destro and Lorenzo Tonelli are out injured for Empoli, while Jean Akpa Akpro and Filippo Bandinelli are both suspended in midfield. Empoli drew for the third time in four Serie A fixtures when they shared the spoils at Fiorentina last time out (1-1).
Predicted Lineup for Empoli: Terracciano – Venuti, Milenkovic, Martinez, Terzic – Barak, Amrabat, Mandragora – Gonzalez, Saponara, Jovic
Napoli
Giacomo Raspadori is listed as Napoli's only injury concern at present. Head Coach Luciano Spalletti could freshen his team up a little following their Champions League exploits in midweek. Eliif Elmas, Matteo Politano and Mario Rui will be among those hoping to feature on Saturday.
Predicted Lineup for Napoli: Meret – Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Min-Jae, Olivera – Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski – Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Player to Watch – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
First-half missed penalty aside, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was at his majestic best again for Napoli in midweek in the club’s 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. The Georgian winger was a constant nuisance and his back-heel assist for Di Lorenzo’s goal in the second half was inspirational.
Starting Lineups
