Napoli vs Empoli prediction 12.11.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 12.11.2023
• Kickoff: 11:30 UTC / 12:30 CET
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

After a bad start to the season, Napoli managed to stabilize and catch up with the leading teams of Serie A. At this moment, they occupy the fourth position in the table with 21 points won, 7 less than the leader Inter. Last week, Napoli routinely won away from Salernitana 2:0. In the absence of the injured Victor Osimhen, Giacomo Raspadori, who scored a goal in the second consecutive Serie A match, played a large role in the attack. In the meantime, Napoli also played a match of the 4th round of the Champions League in which they surprisingly failed to beat the stumbling Union Berlin at home. But despite the hiccups, they are in a good position to qualify for the knock-out phase of this competition.

On the other side of Empoli, there is not much reason for optimism. With seven points won, they hold the penultimate position in the table, and the additional defeating fact is that they have scored only 4 goals so far, which is by far the fewest in the entire league. In the last round, Empoli experienced a second consecutive failure, and Frosinone was better than them this time with a score of 2:1.

Napoli vs Empoli pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Napoli has the role of absolute favorite in this match and there is a majority opinion that just of them depends what will be the final outcome. But regardless of that, sometimes the matches that are won in advance are the most difficult to play. Napoli, in the absence of its top scorer, does not have the luxury of underestimating any club. The only correct approach is to enter the match with maximum commitment from the first minute and score the first goal as soon as possible. Empoli is certainly not a team that is known with a defensive game and that guarantees an interesting match with a lot of goals.
