*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Napoli have been the second-best home team in the Italian top flight, with an 11-2-2 win-draw-loss record.
Not only have Antonio Conte’s men strung together a five-match unbeaten run, but they are also undefeated in their last seven home games (W5, D2).
In contrast, Empoli's only win in their last 18 matches across all competitions came via a penalty shootout. They have no wins in their last 16 Serie A games, with five draws and 11 defeats.
As it stands, Empoli are 19th in the Italian top flight ahead of their encounter with second-placed Napoli.

Player to watch: Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku leads Napoli in both goals (11) and assists (8) this season. Only two players have had more direct goal involvements than the former Manchester United forward in the Italian top flight.
With four goals in his last four appearances for club and country, Lukaku will fancy his chances against one of the league's worst defences.
