Napoli vs Empoli 12.12.2021

Napoli have had a bad spell in their last 5 matches with only one (1) win, largely due to their injury blown squad. A side that once led the Serie A has now dropped to 3rd. Luciano Spellatti and his men will be eager to get back to winning ways as they welcome a newly promoted side.

That said, Empoli have enjoyed a perfect run in their recent games with only one(1) loss in their last 5 matches. The Serie A newcomers have had a good touch in front of goal, scoring in 9 of their last 10 Serie A games, and would be glad to meet Napoli at a time they feel they can put up a surprise.

Napoli remain lethal in front of goal, scoring at least 2 goals in their last 5 matches. As a result, we fancy Napoli to score at least 2 goals with no clean sheet.
