Empoli vs Napoli – Betting Tips & Predictions

Napoli to Win
Napoli have won five of their last seven league and cup games against Empoli and we're backing the visitors to secure all 3pts on Sunday. Empoli are without a win in their last six matches, picking up three draws and suffering three defeats, while Napoli have won three of their last six in Serie A.
Osimhen to Score Anytime
Nigerian international striker, Victor Osimhen, top scores in Serie A for Napoli this season with 12-goals and would have had more had it not been for injury. Still, the 23-year-old has already beaten his total from last season and we're backing him to score against Empoli this weekend. With 6-goals in his last eight appearances for Napoli, Osimhen is in great form right now and should prove tough for the Empoli defence to stop.

Napoli owe Empoli after their last encounter
Empoli were well and truly outplayed in their last game away at Udinese. An own goal from Ismajli in the 6th-minute set the tone of the afternoon for the visitors. Udinese made it 2-0 early in the second half and although Pinamonti pulled a goal back with 20-minutes left on the clock, Udinese scored two more times to wrap up a convincing 4-1 victory. Empoli sit 14th in the table as things stand but look to have done enough in the first half of the campaign to keep their place in the top-flight.
Empoli predicted lineup: Vicario, Stojanović, Luperto, Ismajli, Cacace, Benassi, Bandinelli, Bajrami, Asllani, La Mantia & Pinamonti
Napoli faced a tough home game against Roma last time out and will have been disappointed not to have secured all 3pts. Insigne converted an 11th-minute penalty to put the home side in front and the game looked to be heading for a home win until stoppage-time when El Shaarawy equalised for Roma, silencing the Napoli faithful.
Napoli predicted lineup: Meret, Rui, Koulibaly, Rrahmani, Zanoli, Lobotka, Ruiz, Zambo Anguissa, Insigne, Lozano & Osimhen
Team News
