Empoli vs Napoli prediction

Napoli will turn their attention back towards their Scudetto march as they head to the Stadio Carlo Castellani to face mid-tablers Empoli.

Having already scored 18 times in 18 starts in Serie A this season, the Nigerian striker just cannot stop scoring and will be eager to add more goals to his tally. Still, The Hard Tackle expects Napoli to run out as comfortable 3-1 winners in Florence. He rippled the net for the sixth game in a row in midweek’s UEFA Champions League encounter against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. Hirving Lozano could be handed a breather from the front three, giving Matteo Politano the chance to line up alongside the electric duo of Khvicha Kvaratshelia and Victor Osimhen. And Empoli are unlikely to disrupt their winning juggernaut. Despite a hectic schedule, Napoli have remained relatively sound, with Giacomo Raspadori the only player out of the visitors. Veteran striker Francesco Caputo, who has one goal and three assists in eight Serie A appearances this term, will partner him in the front two, with Tommaso Baldanzi serving as the flexible No. Nicolo Cambiaghi has gotten on the scoresheet in their last two games and will hope to continue his scoring touch on Saturday. And ahead of this matchup at the Stadio Comunale Carlo Castellani, The Hard Tackle takes a closer look at both teams. The hosts can take solace from the fact that they recorded a league double over Napoli last season. Zanetti could opt for a back four of Tyronne Ebuehi, Ardian Ismajli, Sebastiano Luperto, and Fabiano Parisi. They enter into this encounter with a 1-1 league draw against their Tuscan rivals, Fiorentina.

The league leaders will kick off Serie A action this weekend and just a few days on from their convincing Champions League win away to Eintracht Frankfurt as ...

However, by also losing to Roma in this time as well, Paolo Zanetti’s side come into the game without a win since beating Inter Milan in mid-January. What a stunning season it continues to be for Napoli. The club eased to a 2-0 win over Frankfurt in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, as the Naples side now come into this one with incredible hopes of a league and European double.
