Match Preview
| There should be no dearth of goals in this game, which features Serie A’s (SA) second-worst defence in Empoli (55 conceded) and the third-best attack in Napoli (56 scored). |
| Empoli are winless against Napoli in five SA games (D1, L4), conceding an average of 3.4 goals. This, combined with their run of five losses in ten league games (W2, D3, L5) puts pressure on Empoli even before kick-off. |
| Though the hosts face a true relegation dogfight, their home matches account for 84% (21) of their total SA points tally (25), and an unbeaten run in four outings here (W2, D2) accounts for a significant part of that. |
| Napoli have averaged 2.8 goals over their last five SA games (W3, D1, L1) including a 4-1 thrashing of Roma last weekend. However, Napoli have dropped points in five of their last ten league matches (W5, D4, L1), which may provide Empoli fans with a slither of comfort. |
| The Neapolitan visitors have also dropped points in four of their last six SA road trips (W2, D3, L1), failing to score in three. However, Napoli are still impressive travellers against the bottom-half sides, with only Sassuolo managing to snatch points this SA season (W4, D1). |
| Players to watch: Francesco Caputo (EMP) has scored ten of his 13 SA goals at home, while half of Arkadiusz Milik’s (NAP) six SA away goals have come in just his last three road trips. |
| Stat attack: Both teams have scored in 18 of Empoli’s 29 SA games – only Roma can beat that right now! |
| In turn, Empoli have managed a league low of just three clean sheets in 29 SA games. |
| Napoli opened the scoring in 17 of their 29 SA games, going on to win 16. |
| Over half (ten) of Napoli’s 19 SA wins have been by a margin of two or more goals. |
