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)

Napoli, after an initially rough start to the Serie A season, managed to regain their footing and keep pace with the top teams. Currently, they’re in fourth place with 21 points, trailing the leader, Inter, by 7 points. They enjoyed a routine 2:0 victory over Salernitana last week. With Victor Osimhen injured, Giacomo Raspadori stepped up in the attack, scoring in his second consecutive Serie A match. In the Champions League, Napoli had a surprising draw against Union Berlin in the 4th round at home. Nevertheless, they are still well-positioned to make it to the knock-out stage of the tournament.

Empoli’s situation doesn’t inspire much optimism. They are second to last on the league table, having secured only seven points. Even more disheartening is their performance in terms of scoring, with just four goals to their name &— the lowest in the league. In the most recent round, Empoli suffered a second consecutive defeat, this time losing to Frosinone with a scoreline of 2:1.

Napoli vs Empoli pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Napoli is widely considered the clear favorite in this match, with many believing the final outcome rests on their shoulders. However, games that are expected to be easy victories can often be the most challenging. Without their top scorer, Napoli can’t afford to underestimate any team. The best strategy is to approach the game with full dedication from the start and aim to score the first goal quickly. Empoli, a team not known for its defensive play, promises to make the match exciting with plenty of goals.
